EvaluLEAD Framework

"The EvaluLead Framework is to be used as a lens through which evaluation for leadership development programmes can be conceptualised. It is labeled a framework, as opposed to a “model” to connote flexible, yet organised, application. One single prescriptive model for making evaluation operational across multiple programmes is impossible due to the multitude of contexts, goals, activities, outcomes, and accountabilities. Therefore, the framework serves as a view of programmes from the perspective of a “higher altitude.” A programme’s monitoring and evaluation plan and products are a separate, yet linked, piece. The EvaluLead framework provides parameters for designing and implementing a plan that would incorporate the basic conceptual elements outlined...

This framework "conceptually outlines two types of evaluation approaches (Evident Approaches and Evocative Approaches) based on the particular kind of impact sought, making the critical point that both types are needed at all times.
