Whole systems approaches and how we can evaluate and learn from them

What are whole systems and place-based approaches and how might they enable sustainable reductions in health inequalities?
This website has been created to share learning and resources from the National Evaluation and Learning Partnership's (NELP) work with Sport England and people working in local Place Partnerships to develop whole-systems, place-based approaches to reducing inequalities in physical activity. It includes tools and resources for realist-informed evaluation methods including configurational comparative analysis and participatory methods.
