Our brains are ‘hard-wired’ for
stories• Must make intuitive sense
to the listener
• Must be supported by
evidence
• Must be linked to and be
able to be explained by
relevant theory
• Should give rise to policy
recommendations that
can be implemented to
lead to improvement

Most Significant Change Approach
• Qualitative
• Based on stories of ‘significant’ change
•
Developed by Davies (1996) in Bangladesh• Outcomes monitoring tool
• Not an indicator-based approach
• Not to be used stand-alone• http://www.mande.co.uk/docs/MSCGuide.pdf
