Working with Assumptions in International Development Program Evaluation: With a Foreword by Michael Bamberger, Second Edition by Apollo M. NkwakeEnglish | PDF | 2020 | 223 Pages | ISBN : 3030330036 | 2.75 MB
This book discusses the crucial place that assumptions hold in conceptualizing, implementing, and evaluating development programs. It suggests simple ways for stakeholders and evaluators to 1) examine their assumptions about program theory and environmental conditions and 2) develop and carry out effective program monitoring and evaluation in light of those assumptions. A survey of evaluators from an international development agency reviewed the state of practice on assumptions-aware evaluation. This 2nd edition has been updated with further illustrations, case studies, and frameworks that have been researched and tested in the years since the first edition.
