As noted in the Bricolage Methods Principle, Blue Marble Evaluation is NOT a specific set of methods or measurements, though treating the global system as the focus of evaluation has major methodological and measurement implications.

As such, we encourage Blue Marble Evaluators to also join the Better Evaluation community, where you can deepen your understanding of the bricolage of methods available to conduct a Blue Marble Evaluations.
