<p>To provide Filipino social scientists an opportunity to design their own methodology for the analysis of socioeconomic impacts of a spectrum of governmental programs, the Economic and Social Impact Analysis/ Women in Development program has been instituted.</p>
<p>This paper revisits this project and exposes what the author think as unexamined theories behind the usually accepted assumptions of the classic evaluation design and the casual model it implies.</p>
<p>This is in the hope of better understanding not only of the difference between social and natural sciences but also of the linkage between methodology and theory as well.</p>
