What does success look like? Learning from implementation research in maternal and child health
In her inaugural lecture, Professor Tanya Marchant will discuss her experience of evaluating maternal and child health interventions that are implemented at a large scale within country programmes in low- and middle-income settings.
Reflecting on a career that has aimed to use evaluation to inform programme improvement, Professor Tanya Marchant will discuss the need to understand what success means to different stakeholders, the need to apply innovative methods to measure it, the importance of feedback loops, and the sensitivity inherent in determining attributions or celebrating contributions.
