Participatory systems mapping for complex energy policy evaluation

The use of complexity science in evaluation has received growing attention over the last 20 years. We present a novel complexity-appropriate method – Participatory Systems Mapping two real-world contexts and consider how this can be applied more widely evaluation. involves production causal map system by diverse set stakeholders. map, once refined validated, analysed used variety ways an or planning. analysis approach combines network with subjective information from suggest shows great potential to offer value evaluators due unique insights it offers, relative ease its use, complementarity existing approaches methods.
