Critical Realist Evaluation	Public and community engagement initiatives are complex interventions with a complexity of actors, goals and other factors (social, historical, political etc.) influencing projects. This case study weaves together a presentation and discussion of Critical Realist Evaluation as a way of coping with this complexity. The case study presented here is an attempt to go beyond presentation of the theory towards thinking about its application in the context of Community Engagement in Global Health Research.
Analytical Framework	Jim Lavery presents an analytical framework with diagrams which distil a range of factors that need to be addressed to ensure that community and public engagement are taken seriously and embedded within the health research planning and practice for research institutions. Elements of the diagram highlight important concerns identified in current community engagement literature and insights from the practice of some major international programmes of health research supported by the Wellcome Trust.
Science Theatre-Vietnam	The Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam (OCRU-VN) reflect on the design and impact of activities within their Science Theatre Programme with a view to bringing learning into the next iteration of work. So far the team’s evaluation approach has tended to centre on the project objectives, however, the OUCRU-Vietnam team are interested in thinking about using realist evaluation and theory of change approaches to build on this.
Samala Moyo Museum Exhibition-Malawi	Samala Moyo (‘Care for your life’) is an interactive exhibition, which aims to engage people with health and health research that follow themes linked to the research of the Malawi-Liverpool-Wellcome Trust Research Programme (MLW). These include Malaria, TB & HIV, Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) and Microbes Immunity and Vaccines (MIV). The project has used focus group discussions, exhibition games, teacher’s evaluation forms, plenary discussions and student’s video diaries methodologies and are now thinking of using a theory of change approach.
Programme Wide Evaluation-Kenya	The KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme (KWTRP) present a proposed programme of work on evaluation of the various engagement activities (public and community) that are undertaken at the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme (KWTRP).The evaluation will include process, outcome and impact studies and follow an action research design, iteratively feeding into the engagement activities.
