Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on both the current thinking among international development practitioners and the on going scholarly debate on evaluation capacity development, this study aims to identify strategies that might help to strengthen national evaluation capacity in a variety of countries in a more inclusive and sustainable fashion in the future. Based on a case study design featuring an extensive literature review of specialized literature, a series of semi structured interviews and three rounds of online validation sessions held with ECD researchers, funders and implementers; this study aims at three main objectives. First, in an attempt to enhance a more proper use of the term ECD as opposed to that of evaluation capacity building (ECB), several ECD central attributes are identified. Second, based on data collection carried out in Niger, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa, the capabilities of national evaluation associations as well as the magnitude of their contribution to national ECD programming, are assessed. Third, based on the analysis of the shortcomings associated with some of the existing ECD evaluative frameworks, some essential criteria for measuring ECD results more effectively in the future are presented. Results show that, for the sake of promoting a national evaluative culture in international development contexts more successfully in the future, two main strategies ought to be pursued. First, to make ECD programming more participatory, a plurality of governmental and non-governmental actors need to be involved in both the design and implementation of ECD programs. Second, in order to enhance info sharing and evaluation knowledge building among a variety of ECD stakeholders both in the public and private sector, the feasibility of implementing sphere crossing initiatives within the scope of national ECD program needs to be explored more systematically. Such is the case of activities and programs supporting the creation and or strengthening of formal and informal national evaluation associations, increasingly referred to by development agencies as Voluntary Organization of Professionals in Evaluations.

Book excerpt: The perspective that informs this important book is that every evaluation of a capacity development effort should itself contribute to the capacity development effort and ultimately to the organization’s performance. This is a revolutionary idea in evaluation. With the idea have come the questions: Can it be done? And, if it is done, what will be the consequences? This book elucidates and deepens the idea, shows it can be done, and examines the consequences, both intended and unintended, of engaging in capacity development evaluation

As they conducted six evaluation studies over the course of 3 years, project participants learned a great deal about capacity development and the process of evaluation. The authors use examples and lessons drawn from the evaluation studies as a basis for making more general conclusions regarding how capacity-development efforts and evaluation can help organizations to achieve their missions.

Download or read book Building Effective Evaluation Capacity written by Richard Boyle and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960s, policy and program evaluation was used to improve government programs and enhance monitoring. In the 1970s and 1980s, evaluation was redefined as a tool of accountability, via the budgetary process, to assess government performance against standards and objectives. Building Effective Evaluation Capacity draws upon three decades of experience and observation to derive prescriptive lessons. A wealth of illustrative case studies of good practice highlight the book. Rather than proposing a single model for evaluation capacity development, this comparative approach allows readers to apply the findings to their own circumstances. Building Effective Evaluation Capacity will be of interest to public policy specialists, economists, and students of government and comparative politics.
