5 Evidence synthesis: Situating + directions for evaluation and development

We have developed a synthesis of evidence, based on the program logic matrix 4 and questions. These syntheses should:

  • Represent the evidence base x draws on and give language to that
  • Be shareable providing stakeholders with an understanding of the research background
  • Support development of x by pointing to gaps (in the tool, or existing evidence) and methods for evaluation

In each of the syntheses, the sections and purposes should:

  • Provide a key summary
  • Highlight implications
  • Point to lessons for future work
  • Link to practical use cases (including those expressed in the developed scenarios).

These resources comprise:

  1. Three evidence syntheses .
  2. Three Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) summaries, with questions and answers directly linked back to the longer and fully referenced evidence syntheses.
