Download or read book International Aid Evaluation written by Thomaz Kauark Chianca and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluation has been intertwined with international aid work since its inception in the late 40's-early 50's, but it is still an area with considerable room for improvement. If, as is often alleged, evaluations of international development efforts are methodologically weak they are misleading international agencies about the real impact of the sizable amount of resources being spent. A recent study by Chianca, described in this thesis, with a sample of 50 US-based international non-profit organizations (INGOs) illustrates the serious situation of the structure and practice of evaluation in those agencies. A number of efforts to improve this situation have been put in place. Some of them have greater focus on methodological solutions and push for the development of more rigorous impact evaluations using experimental or quasi-experimental designs. Other efforts, while maintaining perspective on the importance of adopting more rigorous evaluation methods, have instead prioritized the establishment of principles and standards to guide and improve evaluation practice. Studies involving thorough analysis of the main efforts to improve international aid evaluation and of the most prominent evaluation standards proposed to the development field are scarce. This dissertation is a contribution to the field in several ways: (i) it provides a general synthesis of the current movements to improve aid evaluation; (ii) it describes and assesses some of the most prominent standards for aid evaluation; (iii) in particular, it presents a thorough assessment of the most widely adopted set of evaluation criteria worldwide, the five OECD/DAC evaluation criteria, with specific suggestions for improving them; (iv) it discusses results of a survey of INGOs on their evaluation principles and practice, and their feedback on the evaluation standards recently proposed by InterAction (the largest coalition of US-based INGOs); and (v) in the light of the preceding, it provides InterAction and other aid agencies with concrete suggestions to improve future revisions of their evaluation standards and guidelines.

Download or read book Improving Democracy Assistance written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-07-26 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 25 years, the United States has made support for the spread of democracy to other nations an increasingly important element of its national security policy. These efforts have created a growing demand to find the most effective means to assist in building and strengthening democratic governance under varied conditions. Since 1990, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has supported democracy and governance (DG) programs in approximately 120 countries and territories, spending an estimated total of $8.47 billion (in constant 2000 U.S. dollars) between 1990 and 2005. Despite these substantial expenditures, our understanding of the actual impacts of USAID DG assistance on progress toward democracy remains limited-and is the subject of much current debate in the policy and scholarly communities. This book, by the National Research Council, provides a roadmap to enable USAID and its partners to assess what works and what does not, both retrospectively and in the future through improved monitoring and evaluation methods and rebuilding USAID's internal capacity to build, absorb, and act on improved knowledge.

This book was released on 2004-06-15 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An effective state is essential to achieving socio-economic and sustainable development. With the advent of globalization, there are growing pressures on governments and organizations around the world to be more responsive to the demands of internal and external stakeholders for good governance, accountability and transparency, greater development effectiveness, and delivery of tangible results. Governments, parliaments, citizens, the private sector, NGOs, civil society, international organizations and donors are among the stakeholders interested in better performance. As demands for greater accountability and real results have increased, there is an attendant need for enhanced results-based monitoring and evaluation of policies, programs, and projects. This Handbook provides a comprehensive ten-step model that will help guide development practitioners through the process of designing and building a results-based monitoring and evaluation system. These steps begin with a OC Readiness AssessmentOCO and take the practitioner through the design, management, and importantly, the sustainability of such systems. The Handbook describes each step in detail, the tasks needed to complete each one, and the tools available to help along the way."
