American Journal of Evaluation paper

If you are interested in learning more about the theoretical underpinnings of the ABC Framework, you can read the original paper, published in the American Journal of Evaluation in 2020. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the framework and its theoretical foundation, and is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about how the framework was developed and how it can be applied in practice. The paper also includes a case study on the application of the approach on an evaluation of a security and justice program in Nepal.

ABC Framework brochure

The ABC Framework brochure provides an accessible overview of the ABC Framework. It briefly goes into key concepts from complexity science and behaviour change, before discussing the three key components of developing programme theory using the ABC Framework: an Actor-based Systems Map, a Change Agenda, and Causal Impact Pathways. The brochure discusses implementation experiences in Pakistan and Nepal. The brochure is based on a presentation delivered to the UK Evaluation Society conference in 2018.
