<p>What I will be talking about: Designing oncology research and programs for Impact The value of programs/interventions and research is increasingly coming under scrutiny. Impact evaluation is the process of determining to what extent observed changes in the outcome are attributable to the intervention. Figures alone cannot explain why things are that way, and stories alone cannot demonstrate who or how many people benefited and to what extent. Additional methodological tools, such as participatory methods, theories of change, and human centred designs, citizen science and the engagement of all key stakeholders, including those previously known as beneficiaries is fundamental. This facilitates a better understanding of the problems while unraveling potential solutions, bearing in mind that any health system intervention can have positive, negative, intended, unintended, direct and indirect consequences. Transdisciplinary, multi and inter-disciplinary approaches and mixed methods therefore become indispensable in oncology. We propose the adoption of an impact evaluation framework with seven central tenets namely; Theory of change (TOC) or program theory, Stakeholder engagement including beneficiaries, Use of mixed method indicators, Baseline of outcome of interest, Midline assessment of outcome of interest, Endline assessment of outcome of interest and Validation/Co-creation. In oncology, to cater for the diverse needs of clients, this means embedding the seven central tenets in when engaging with each client.</p>
