Join us for an intensive 3-day workshop in Bengaluru on ‘Realist Evaluation’ organized by the Institute of Public Health Bengaluru (IPH).

About Realist Evaluation:

Realist Evaluation approach seeks to explain how and why complex interventions work (or don’t work) in particular contexts. This methodology is well suited to tackle evaluations of complex interventions and focuses on generative mechanisms in evaluating health policies and systems interventions. By focusing on the underlying mechanisms realist evaluation provides deep insights into the effectiveness of public health interventions, informing better policy decisions and practice.
