What is quasi evaluation?

Quasi evaluation refers to an assessment approach that combines elements of both qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods, often used in contexts where traditional evaluation criteria may not fully capture the complexities of a program or intervention. It typically involves examining outcomes in a more flexible manner, allowing for insights that might be overlooked in strictly quantitative analyses. This method is useful in formative evaluations, where understanding the process and context is as important as measuring specific outcomes. Ultimately, quasi evaluation aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of effectiveness and impact.
