- [Programme Improvement](https://markoldenbeuving.com/?page_id=57): Empowerment, Voice and Accountability for Better Health and Nutrition Client: DFID | Country: Pakistan As part of the Provincial Health and Nutrition Programme (PHNP), Palladium’s Empowerment, Voice and Accountability for Better Health and Nutrition (EVA-BHN) project aims to empower, organise and facilitate citizens and civil society to hold the governments of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to account for the delivery of quality maternal and neonatal health services. As the programme learning adviser, I conceptualised and implemented a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system, based on the project Theory of Change that was developed using the new ABC Framework (mentioned in IDS publication here and here).

Below are some recent examples: Lebanon Subsidised Temporary Employment Programme Client: DFID | Country: Lebanon The Subsidised Temporary Employment Programme (STEP) in Lebanon provides finance and employment incentives that will encourage small and medium-sized businesses to expand production and create new permanent jobs for Lebanese workers as well as temporary jobs for Syrians.

- [Hi, I'm Mark](https://markoldenbeuving.com/): I help organisations design, deliver and evaluate change initiatives in complex systems. After fifteen years working across international development, governance and organisational change, I founded Ripple CoLab, a consultancy built on the Actor-Based Change (ABC) Framework. I co-developed the ABC Framework with Drew Koleros, Danielle Stein and Sean Mulkerne while we worked together at Palladium. It was published in the American Journal of Evaluation and has since been used to design and evaluate programmes for bilateral donors, multilaterals, foundations and development banks. Before starting Ripple CoLab, I was part of Integrity‘s Monitoring and Evaluation team, and before that I worked in Palladium‘s Design and […]
