Thank you @guerzovich.bsky.social for this great bringing together of #rubrics and #theoryofchange with an important addition - #typologies! It all makes such sense now - and shows the value of simple cataloguing as an initial task in #qualitativedatanalysis. #evaluation #impactevaluation

Congratulations to @sabincenter.bsky.social for creating three online tools to track decisions and actions of the new USA government - an important contribution to #accountability.
🚨 🚀🌍 Today, the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law is launching three online tools – the Climate Backtracker, the Inflation Reduction Act Tracker & the Silencing Science Tracker – to keep tabs on the Trump administration’s climate rollbacks & anti-science actions: https://buff.ly/4jsf5HJ
