Identifies and discusses the new trends in evaluation
Description
The debate on collaboration within evaluation is reminiscent of the question: "Why did the chicken cross the road?" The simple answer is that it wanted to get to the other side. But the evaluator wants to know much more...
Since 2001, both the discourse and the practice of evaluation have evolved in response to changes taking place in development as a whole. The appearance of a number of global initiatives, particularly the focus on the Millenium Development Goals, and an icreased emphasis on poverty reduction, are two of the challenges to which evaluation practices are responding. Increasing calls for institutional accountability and the need for learning at all levels of development, at the same time as a growing emphasis on multilateral as opposed to bilateral development aid, are calling for new approaches to evaluation.
