Hello Ann, at Emerald Network we have been experimenting with systemic evaluations for a few years now. Each evaluation is of course different, as it is always contextually design, but with each evaluation we do we experiment with new methods and new methodological combinations.To help us set more inclusive boundaries for the definition of the 'system of interest' which become the focus of our evaluations, we draw on critical systems thinking. We are finding Martin Reynolds work really useful here. I like the way you are dealing with issues of power and inclusion by drawing boundaries in this subgroup to embrace gender, marginalized voices and ecologies. In a recent evaluation for the ACCRA programme in Ethiopia we also drew on learning history as a methodology for giving voice to marginalized voices in the evaluation. I've attached the evaluation report here. best wishes - John
