Evaluation : a systematic approach

Synopsis

The book that has been a benchmark in evaluation has been further improved and updated. Relied on by over 90,000 readers as the text on how to design, implement and appraise the utility of social programmes, Evaluation has been completely revised to include the latest techniques and approaches, as well as guidelines for how evaluations should be tailored to fit programmes and social contexts.

New features in the Sixth Edition include:

- expanded coverage of needs assessment, outcome monitoring and performance measurement;

- a new chapter on identifying issues and formulating questions, offering practical ways in which effective evaluation questions can be fashioned;

- a new chapter on assessing programme theory

- a revised section on tailoring an evaluation, outlining a broad range of evaluation approaches, including newer participatory techniques.
