Welcome to the Evaluating C4D Resource Hub
The Evaluating C4D Resource Hub houses a growing collection of the best available guides, toolkits, tools and methods to use for research monitoring and evaluation (R,M&E) of Communication for Development (C4D) initiatives.
The Hub is structured around two combined frameworks:
C4D Evaluation Framework (represented by the circle) is an approach. It describes the values and principles that guide our decisions in C4D.
The BetterEvaluation Rainbow Framework (represented by the rainbows) is a structure. It organises the practical tasks into seven categories or 'clusters' and provides options.
You can download a printable guide to navigating the Evaluating C4D Resource Hub here:
The Hub applies the C4D Evaluation Framework to each of the practical R,M&E tasks, and recommends options and tools.
The goal of the Evaluating C4D Resource Hub is to find the right kinds of options, tools and resources that suit your practical needs and match the approach you want to take. You will probably move between understanding the Evaluating C4D Framework principles and Rainbow Framework tasks to help you decide on the right options and tools for your situation.
