Most Significant Change
Participatory monitoring and evaluation method using storytelling to capture and analyze program impact.
Most Significant Change is a participatory monitoring and evaluation approach that collects and analyzes stories of change to understand program impact and outcomes. Participants identify, discuss, and prioritize stories that represent the most significant changes resulting from an intervention or program. This method emphasizes stakeholder involvement in defining what constitutes meaningful change, making it particularly valuable for community-based programs and complex social interventions where traditional metrics may not capture the full scope of impact.
