Abstract

Social programming is an evolved mechanism for addressing social needs (among other things). Evaluation focuses largely on social programs. We review selected aspects of the complex dynamic, political, and contextual factors that influence social programming, and from these we draw conclusions about the conduct of emergent realist evaluation.
