1. Introduction
The articles in this special issue outline the philosophical basis, mechanisms, and evidence from recent cases to illustrate how working with assumptions improves evaluations and program design particularly in complex environments. Nkwake and Morrow lay out the philosophical basis for working with assumptions and make an argument for the development of a typology of the assumptions that permeate our practice of Evaluation. Mertens in the second article links the practice of working with assumptions in evaluation to the transformative power of rooting evaluative practice in social justice and human rights. Chen makes an argument for better approaches to working with assumptions on a pragmatic basis they improve both program theory and evaluation theory—leading to more effective programs and better evaluation designs. Archibald et al. present evidence of how working with assumptions specifically enables adaptive management, adapting program theory to context and resulting in greater agency and empowerment of front line staff. The final article, by Morrow and Nkwake, attempts to put these concepts into some historical perspective by underlining the changing role of the evaluator and development of assumption-aware tools as our profession seeks to improve evaluation and design for increasingly complex evaluands in ever dynamic and more complex contexts. The particular focus on the development of tools is intended to both provide insight to the development of assumption-aware practice but also provide readers with some options for integrating more assumption-aware design and evaluation into their own work. 1.1. Diverse view points on assumptions found in this volume Nkwake and Morrow open this volume arguing the case for a more systematic approach to working with assumptions in program evaluation and design. The practice of surfacing and examining assumptions has deep historical and philosophical roots. Although evaluators face a plethora of unexamined assumptions in their practice and work with stakeholders, the research and has taken place in a piece-meal fashion with the concept of evaluations being picked up by a variety of authors. Nkwake and Morrow believe that better approaches and tools for working with assumptions is fundamental to improving evaluation and program design in complex contexts and with complex evaluands for a variety of reasons including unexpected outcomes, ubiquitous feedbacks, fuzzy boundaries and linkages at a variety of scales. Articulating and testing assumptions is one way for making incremental progress and learn through reflection. Ultimately
