Abstract: Danida is in the process of rethinking its results and learning culture. Evaluations will play an important role in this as a source for capturing results to aid interventions on outcome and impact level. The main focus will be on strengthening the evaluability of Danish aid programmes through systematic use of theory of change to describe the contribution stories or the intervention logics, causalities, and expected results and verify these through an improved evidence base created by the programme's M&E systems. In addition, real-time evaluations will be piloted to improve the timeliness and feedback of evaluation information to aid implementation. The new approaches will, over time, enable Danida to even better document results and strengthen evidence for better future programming. The evaluation department will be working closely with operational units in bringing about these changes.
