The role of new information and communication technologies in equity-focused evaluation: Opportunities and challenges
ICT is being rapidly introduced into development evaluation. Evaluators need to keep abreast of these important evolutions in the field in order to stay current and continue shaping the future of development work through their practice. ICT is helping to resolve some age-old issues that evaluators face, especially in terms of time, resources and data quality constraints. At the same time, the introduction of ICTs into evaluation brings a series o…
The Ethical Implications of Underfunding Development Evaluations
Why do many international development evaluations have a positive bias? Should we worry
Many of the approaches used by international development agencies to assess the impacts and effects of their development interventions can potentially result in the findings having a positive bias. As a consequence, impacts and benefits of the interventions are frequently overestimated, while the proportion of the target population who do not benefit may be underestimated and the potential negative consequences of the interventions may frequently…
Introduction: Impact Evaluation in Official Development Agencies
Shoestring Evaluation: Designing Impact Evaluations under Budget, Time and Data Constraints
The paper discusses two common scenarios in which evaluators must conduct impact evaluations when working under budget, time, or data constraints. Under the first scenario the evaluator is not called in until the project is already well advanced, and there is a tight deadline for completing the evaluation, frequently combined with a limited budget and without access to baseline data. Under the second scenario the evaluator is called in early, but…
Shoestring Evaluation: Designing Impact Evaluations under Budget, Time and Data Constraints
Feminist evaluation in the international development context
This chapter reviews U.S. and other Western researchers' treatment of issues affecting women in evaluations of the impacts of international development assistance. In most cases, the evaluations do not adopt a specifically feminist approach but rather a women‐in‐development (WID) or, more recently, a gender approach. The authors discuss the extent to which these approaches address feminist research concerns and how a more explicitly feminist appr…
The evaluation of international development programs: A view from the front
The Evaluation of International Development Programs: A View from the Front
International program evaluation is a booming business, with important and challenging evaluations of development programs being conducted in almost every country in the developing world. However, many U.S. domestic evaluation practitioners are not yet familiar with this field. Evaluators of international development programs normally must operate in a very different environment than one would expect to find when evaluating U.S. programs. These d…

In Defense of Urban Community Development—the Venezuelan Case
Until recently there appears to have been an unfortunate division be? tween development economists and community development practi? tioners in the thinking about urban development problems. This division is partially explained by the economist's emphasis on overall planning and development as opposed to the community developer's traditional emphasis on rural communities. The economist's thinking about urban problems is an implicit part of his mo…
