Causal Pathways – free training!
| 8 July 2025 | News
Check out some free training recordings – including a QuIP case study.
Bath SDR is a member of the Causal Pathways network which seeks ‘to help philanthropy and other funders open-up the black box of strategy and systems change by building awareness, will, and skills to use evaluation approaches that can make sense of causal relationships without depending on more traditional experimental and quasi-experimental approaches’.
The network has produced many fantastic (free) resources, as well as a dedicated hub on methods and approaches produced with Better Evaluation. A series of free training seminars recently concluded, and the recordings and slides are now available here. Check out:
Session 1: Understanding and Getting Ready for Causal Pathways Evaluation
Explore what are causal pathways, the myths that keep us from applying causal pathways approaches, when this type of analysis makes most sense, and how to build buy-in for causal pathways with key staff and partners. (Kimberlin Butler and Heather Britt)
Session 2: Values-Driven Causal Pathways Evaluations: Strengthening Rigor and Quality
Explore what rigor looks like in causal pathways evaluations, building on the inclusive rigor framework and a values-driven approach, including unpacking why participatory approaches matter. (Florencia Guerzovich and Drew Koleros)
Session 3: The Nitty Gritty of a Causal Pathways Evaluation Design and Implementation
Explore how to design and implement a causal pathways evaluation, recognizing it can differ from many other types of evaluation. Topics range from constructing an iterative design process to strategies for coding causal relationships in data. (Steve Powell, Fiona Remnant and Alison Gold).
Huge thanks to the team behind the materials and organisation for these training sessions, including Jewlya Lynn, Carolina De La Rosa Mateo, Marina Apgar, Tom Aston, Carlisle Levine, Julia Coffman, Abdoul Karim Coulibaly and Yulianto Dewata.
You can join the LinkedIn group here and keep an eye out for future events – like the recent coffee break on Attending to quality and rigour throughout causal pathways evaluation.
