This report considers alternative approaches to policy evaluation which are designed around the new kind of market co-creating and shaping policies governments are increasingly experimenting with in response to major social, environmental and economic challenges.

The study is based on an extensive systematic literature review of academic discussions in policy appraisal and evaluation over the past 5 years, supplemented by selected international policy cases.
