What is ‘good’ systems change and how do we measure it?

This blog post provides a summary of the discussion and includes the recording, an overview of questions and answers from the discussion, as well as the resources shared during the session.

The session brought out a number of important themes. Three stand out to me:

Measuring change or evaluating change: the latter requires criteria for what good and bad change looks like. Rubrics can be a useful tool and they can function as conversation starters for change agents about what is going on, what role they are playing and what they should do next
We need to measure what matters rather than what is easy to measure. This requires broadening what data we rely on, and how we collect, analyze and present it.
Critically reflect on who defines what ‘good’ looks like. Inclusion and participation of the people we are trying to help is essential.
