New Publication: Nur Hidayati on Harnessing Storytelling for Meaningful Evaluation

We are excited to share that our colleague Nur Hidayati, together with co-author Wendy Knerr, has recently published an article on the power of storytelling in evaluation, now available in English and Dutch.

In The Most Significant Change (MSC) Technique: Monitoring, Evaluation, and Empowerment through Storytelling, Nur explores how MSC offers a participatory, story-based approach to capturing complex, meaningful change. Unlike traditional evaluation methods that focus on indicators and numbers, MSC centers on the lived experiences of stakeholders, giving voice to unexpected outcomes, subtle shifts, and transformative processes.

The article also shows how MSC fosters inclusivity by ensuring that the perspectives of marginalized and minority groups are heard and valued. By combining storytelling with structured analysis and stakeholder dialogue, MSC becomes a powerful tool for learning, reflection, and decision-making.

Through practical examples and a clear step-by-step explanation, this piece is an invaluable resource for evaluators, program implementers, and policymakers looking to make their work more inclusive, dynamic, and responsive to real-world change.
