Ediscussion: Evidence for market systems approaches, September 2015
Moderators: Elise Wach, Institute for Development Studies and Marcus Jenal, BEAM Exchange
The ediscussion looked at several competing perspectives on what constitutes credible evidence and considered the following questions:
- How should we collect evidence for market systems approaches?
- What is the scope of how and what we measure?
- What designs and methods work?
- How can data be used effectively for learning and improving?
Over 100 people participated in the ediscussion, including practitioners and donors.
