This resource offers a framework for evaluating system initiatives that grew out of a BUILD symposium to assess the current state of the systems initiative evaluation field, identify lessons learned from previous systems initiative evaluation, and point to next steps and directions for evaluating systems initiatives. The evaluation framework helps clarify what complex systems initiatives are doing and aiming to accomplish, and thereby supports both theory of change development and evaluation planning.
