International Organizations and the Promotion of Evaluation (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Approaching the promotion of evaluation capacities as a multi-institutional and global practice, this book provides a detailed account of the logics and instruments that guide the work of international organizations and transnational networks.

It shows how Evaluation Capacity Development operates as an indirect governance strategy whose major challenge lies in creating demand for evaluation through various measures. Evaluation in international development has transformed from an instrument used by donors to assess the effectiveness of development projects to a development project in its own right. Tracing this transformation from the early decades of development cooperation to the present, the author examines the history and promotion of Evaluation Capacity Development as a governance strategy.

The book will be of great interest to scholars from International Relations, development studies, and evaluation research, as well as practitioners working on the evaluation of development.
