As a non-profit, independent and non-partisan think tank, d|part conducts scientific monitoring and evaluation of external projects that aim to foster political participation. We apply a diverse set of methods depending on the design and the objectives of our project partners. The monitoring and evaluation with qualitative or quantitative methods can take place before, during or after the project. Thereby, we do not only rely on existing data or documents, but also develop new tools to collect data and information together with our project partners that help to evaluate the project.
