Abstract
AbstractCalls for more and better research on evaluation (RoE) have been sounded for some 20 years now and the recent appearance of several significant reviews of empirical research suggests that interest in RoE is on the rise. Although many empirical studies on evaluation and syntheses of such studies result in implications for evaluation policy and practice, to date there has been little attention devoted to tracking the practice impact of RoE. The chapter draws on recent work on research and knowledge utilization to develop a conceptual approach to assessing the impact of RoE on evaluation policy and practice. Specifically, a theory of change for RoE is developed as part of a contribution analysis (CA) approach to the problem. Recommendations for moving forward are then considered.
