Although there is no such thing as a ‘standard’ QuIP output, we do have some examples of use within evaluations in different contexts. This approach to collecting and analysing narrative data can be used to evaluate the impacts of specific interventions, but also in a more exploratory way to understand perceptions of what causes what and how change happens, and how these may differ between different groups and in different contexts. Examples of this more exploratory work are in our work with the Sustainability Governance of China’s Global Infrastructure Investments team at the University of Bath, and the transatlantic university team working on Economic Futures: the Interplay of Identities, Trust and Governance in South African townships.
The pool of reports we can share publicly is somewhat limited, but we do share those which have been published. Some are posted below, but please do check out our Resources page for more.
We have a smaller selection of case studies in an online booklet which cover a range of countries and contexts.
We also have a full list of evaluations we have worked on, and these are also split by sector below:
- Rural livelihoods (agriculture)
- Market development
- Microfinance, savings and social cash transfers
- Education
- Health, nutrition, water and sanitation
- Gender relations and sexual & reproductive health
- Work, community mobilisation and third sector organisations
