Integrative Evaluation
“Integrative evaluation” is an approach with two main phases: identification of plausible rival hypotheses and integration of rival hypotheses. The first phase may correspond to traditional adversary evaluation, whereas the second phase, that is not included in adversary evaluation, requires integrative thinking which can be applied when they are compatible and complementary. Integrative evaluation may facilitate “evaluative thinking” and contrib…
Tendencias en la evaluación del desarrollo y la gestión del conocimiento
Este documento identifica las tendencias en la evaluación del desarrollo que surgieron durante la última década, como el uso de ensayos de control aleatorios, el renovado énfasis en la complejidad, la creación de redes y asociaciones de evaluación nacionales, regionales y mundiales, el creciente uso de las TIC (tecnologías de la información y el conocimiento) para el monitoreo y las prácticas de evaluación, y el interés en utilizar la evaluación …
Development and radical uncertainty
Development strategies, programmes and projects are designed making assumptions concerning several variables such as future prices of outputs and inputs, exchange rates and productivity growth. However, knowledge about the future is limited. Uncertainty prevails. The usual approach to deal with uncertainty is to reduce it to risk. Uncertainty is perceived as a negative factor that should and can be eliminated. This article presents an alternative…
The entanglement of facts and values
The entanglement of facts and values is shown in the context of an example from an evaluation of an agricultural project in Honduras. Instead of assuming that the evaluated project corresponded to what really mattered to the people (that it was ‘relevant’ for them), the evaluation team tried to find out what people valued most and incorporated this perspective in the assessment of the project. Thus, it became a value-focused evaluation in which t…

Cambio técnico industrial adaptativo
1. Uno de los hechos estilizados que va emergiendo de la literatura economica sobre tecnologia en America Latina es la existencia de una actividad innovativa domestica, de caracter adaptativo; esta actividad no reviste caracter excepcional y esta orientada a efectuar adaptaciones en los equipos importados y en los productos 1. El prop6sito principal de este trabajo es aportar al desarrollo de un marco conceptual que permita visualizar algunas imp…
