2 Warm-Up October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 2
3 Is it Really Possible? True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information. Winston Churchill Why go through all this trouble? Are some of you willing to share your answer to why your organization conducts or is contemplating advocacy evaluation? October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 3
4 For what purpose/s do you evaluate your public policy advocacy work? (check all that apply) Evaluators Answer Options Response Percent Response Count To measure staff performance. 50.0% 11 Reporting outcomes to funders. 77.3% 17 Reporting outcomes to constituency or stakeholders. 77.3% 17 Internal monitoring of progress towards goals. 86.4% 19 Reporting progress towards goals to funders. 63.6% 14 Reporting progress towards goals to constituency or stakeholders. 59.1% 13 To learn from the information and adjust strategy/tactics. 90.9% 20 Use what you ve learned to help other organizations improve their practices. 31.8% 7 Other 0.0% 0 October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 4

7 Traditional Approaches to Evaluation Retrospective: looking back after project complete Summative: goal of the evaluation is to make a judgment about program s worth, effectiveness or impact Focus on outcomes & impact, rather than improvement or learning Scientific method has dominated the field of evaluation October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 7
8 Discussion question What are some of the unique challenges for advocacy evaluation? October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 8
9 Unique Challenges for Advocacy Evaluation 1) Complexity and iterative nature of advocacy and policy change (Guthrie et al., 2005) 2) Role of external forces (Guthrie et al., 2005) 3) The time frame (Guthrie et al., ) Shifting strategies (Guthrie et al., 2005) 5) Little experience or capacity for evaluation (Guthrie et al., ) Differing expectations or value for evaluation between funders and advocates (Guthrie et al., 2005) 7) Defensive outcomes (Reisman et al., 2007; Egbert and Hoechstetter, 2009) 8) Differing needs, philosophies, and requirements among foundations (Reisman et al., 2007). October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 9

20 Theoretical Grounding has Addressed Some Challenges 1) Both capacity and advocacy strategies need to be measured (Alliance for Justice, 2004) 2) Prospective evaluation is important-- measuring progress towards goals is important to capture and measure (Guthrie, et al., 2005, 2006) October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 20
21 Patton s theory of Developmental Evaluation is applicable to advocacy evaluation 1) Developmental Evaluation accepts that progress toward a goal may be the only measure of success in some contexts. 2) Focus on internal accountability rather than external. 3) Distinguished from formative evaluation because not aspiring to summative evaluation. (Michael Q Patton, 1994, 2006, 2011)
22 Seven Principles for Policy Change Evaluation 1. Expand the perception of policy work beyond sate and federal legislative arenas to include administrative and regulatory advocacy, as well as within the judicial branch, and local and regional advocacy. 2. Build an evaluation framework around a theory about how a group s activities are expected to lead to its long-term outcomes (theory of change). 3. Focus monitoring and impact assessment for most grantees and initiatives on the steps that lay the groundwork and contribute to the policy change being sought rather than the final outcome of passing the legislation. October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 22
23 Seven Principles Continued 4. Include outcomes that involve building grantee capacity to become more effective advocates including interim progress measures and progress that establishes their capacity to impact future policy efforts. 5. Focus on the foundation s and the grantee s contribution, not attribution because it can be almost impossible to determine absolute attribution given the range of factors that may have influenced an outcome. 6. Emphasize organizational learning as the overarching goal of evaluation for both the grantee and the foundation with a focus on strategies that support learning rather than judgment. 7. Build grantee capacity to conduct self-evaluation including resources, training, and technical assistance (Guthrie et al., 2005). October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 23
24 Methods for Evaluating Advocacy Scientific proof not required for program evaluation in this context However evaluation principles still apply and many methods are the same Methods chosen will depend on answers to key questions October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 24
25 Methods for Evaluating Advocacy Common methods: stakeholder surveys or interviews to gather feedback case studies detailing and analyzing a campaign focus groups with stakeholders/advocates media tracking of incidence of subject coverage in media media content or framing analysis--more in depth than tracking participant observation--evaluator attends meetings policy tracking--progress in the policy process public polling (Coffman and Reed, 2009). October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 25
26 Methods for Evaluating Advocacy Unique methods: bellwether methodology: structured interviews of influential people to gauge where an issue is in the broader landscape policymaker ratings: assess the level of support for and influence on an issue intense period debriefs: debrief through focus groups or individual interviews to evaluate campaign system mapping: visual mapping of system done to better understand dynamics and changes in system (Coffman and Reed, 2009). Grassroots actions October 2011 Callanan / Zimmerman 26
