Fieldwork is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see... and other reflections: 3ie annual Howard White inaugural lecture

Journal of Development Effectiveness, 2015, vol. 7, issue 3, 375-387

Abstract: In 2014 an annual lecture series was established in honour of Howard White, the first executive director of the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie). Each year, a 3ie selection committee invites a distinguished international development professional to deliver a lecture on a topic related to 3ie's mission. This paper is a transcription of the first lecture in that series, on conducting fieldwork with eyes wide open and getting research used. Topics include going deep on context, using mixed methods, learning the lessons of history, being memorable and how to make a difference.
