תקציר	The evaluation-focused multiphase mixed methods design applies the multiphase mixed methods framework explicitly to program evaluation contexts, orchestrating three or more sequential or iterative phases — each drawing on quantitative measures, qualitative inquiry, or both — to assess a program, policy, or intervention from needs assessment through impact evaluation. An overarching evaluation question unifies all phases, and findings from each phase directly shape the evaluation questions and methods of the next.	Intervention mixed methods design embeds qualitative data collection within an experimental or quasi-experimental study so that process, mechanism, and participant experience are captured alongside outcome measurement. The quantitative strand tests whether the intervention works; the qualitative strand explains how and why it works — or does not. The two strands may be sequenced before, during, or after the intervention phase, or run concurrently, depending on the research questions.
