Great conversation! Like Eddah, while I haven't been necessarily involved in evaluations that are labelled as SSTC, I have looked as several multi-country, multi-stakeholder initiatives. Based on previous comments and responses, and my experience I believe methods that prioritise learning over accountability would work best, but will require a good amount of involvement from stakeholders. If planned well, these methods would be most impactful, especially around the area of  capturing of intangible benefits. For example, Outcome Harvesting, Most Significant Change techniques, Networks and Systems Mapping and Developmental Evaluation as an overall approach would be extremely helpful. These would support analysis of influence and relationships among actors, but also capture the diffusion of knowledge and emergence of mutual learning systems.
