A structured framework for autoethnographic inquiry
Autoethnography has gained prominence in the social sciences for its ability to connect lived experience with wider cultural and institutional dynamics. In some disciplines and scholarly publications, it still attracts debate – especially around ethics, the balance between narrative and analysis, and how authors make their analytic moves transparent. This article offers a structured (but non-prescriptive) framework for autoethnographic inquiry, d…
Development approaches for preventing violent extremism
Community-led disaster resilience
Community-led disaster resilience is an emerging concept in disaster risk reduction that emphasises local leadership, grassroots coordination and adaptive strategies to enhance preparedness and recovery. It is based on community knowledge, lived experience of emergency events and readiness to work collaboratively to towards improving resilience, often with support from external organisations. This paper explores community-led resilience models th…
Climate-induced displacement and urban insecurity in Pakistan
Climate change is increasingly recognised as a threat multiplier for conflict. However, much of the climate – security literature remains nationally aggregated or rural-focused, offering limited insight into how environmental shocks reshape security and development dynamics within cities. This article examines how climate-induced internal displacement following Pakistan’s 2022 floods intersects with pre-existing urban vulnerabilities in Karachi a…
Intercropping as social mitigation under climate-driven scarcity in agrarian Java, Indonesia
Climate change is increasingly recognised as a threat multiplier in agrarian societies, where erratic rainfall, fragile irrigation systems, and crop failures heighten livelihood insecurity and intensify local tensions. Deterministic accounts that portray climate change as an inevitable driver of conflict, however, often overlook community agency and the everyday practices through which households absorb environmental shocks. This article examines…
Remote Qualitative Fieldwork in Conflict-Affected Mindanao
This paper examines a partnered approach to remote qualitative fieldwork implemented in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), a conflict-affected region in the southern Philippines where foreign researchers are subject to travel restrictions. Through collaboration between Deakin University, Australia and Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), we designed and supported 41 focus group discussions …
Everyday peace
This article proposes everyday peace as a strengths-based community development framework with significant ability to empower local peacebuilding agency. Most peacebuilding focusses on strengthening social cohesion, and thus starts by searching for common ground, bringing together those who can quickly move toward local negotiated outcomes. After serious intercommunal or sectarian violence, however, this may be neither safe nor possible. By contr…
Context is Everything in the Evaluation of Community-Based Programs
Community-based programs involve participants whose perspectives are shaped by the social and geographical context in which they operate. Evaluations of these programs should capture this context and incorporate the diverse perspectives of participants in data collection and findings. This is demonstrated in an evaluation of a community-based disaster resilience program in New South Wales, Australia, in which six community case studies were devel…
The Thing That Will Save You Is the Community”
The risk of recurring and cascading disasters is increasing rapidly, with significant implications for community mental health. This study aimed to explore qualitative reports of mental health experiences, changes in social identity, and community connectedness within an area affected by repeated and compounding hazards. The Wooroloo Bushfire in Western Australia occurred during a COVID-19 lockdown in 2021, with ongoing repercussions for the comm…

Decolonizing Community Development Evaluation in Rakhine State, Myanmar
This paper unpacks our efforts as external evaluators to work toward decolonizing our evaluation practice. Undertaking this writing exercise as a form of reflective practice demonstrated that decolonization is much more complex than simply translating materials, organizing locals to collect data, and building participants’ capacity around Western modalities. While this complexity is clear in the decolonization literature, practice-based examples …
Perspectives on violent extremism from development–humanitarian NGO staff in Southeast Asia
Violent extremism (VE) significantly affects many contexts within which international development–humanitarian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) operate in Southeast Asia. Recent preventing/countering violent extremism (P/CVE) models highlight the need for community-based preventative activities; however, there has been little research to date examining the understandings of international development–humanitarian NGOs regarding VE in their co…
Development NGO responses to countering violent extremism and hate
This paper surveys the state of knowledge regarding development and humanitarian non-government organisation (NGO) responses to preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE). As well as delineating the nexus and shared objectives between P/CVE and development/humanitarian NGO frameworks, it outlines a reframing of the concept of VE into violent and hateful extremism (VHE), as a shift to a more nuanced understanding which addresses inherent …
Developing a monitoring and evaluation framework in a humanitarian non-profit organisation using agile methodology
Purpose This paper relays the process the authors used to develop a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework in the emergency services team at Australian Red Cross. The paper aims to provide useful information and guidance to support others to build and improve their M&E frameworks, which are fundamental for guiding achievement of department or organisational goals. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a case study to describe the partici…
Reflections on Covid-19 and internal evaluation in a humanitarian non-profit
This article uses reflective practice and social interdependence theory to unpack the ways in which our practice as internal evaluators was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, using the development of a monitoring and evaluation framework as a case study. The reflections are separated into six stages: description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan. Initial reflections on the impact of COVID-19 drew out the negative effects…
Everyday peace as a theory to explain victims’ peacemaking actions in intimate partner violence situations
This paper assesses the transferability of the concept of everyday peace, developed in the conflict and peace studies literature, to practices utilised by people experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). The relevance of everyday peace to IPV is assessed by mapping typologies of the concept against behaviour that victims implement to manage and survive abusive relationships. To collect these data, experienced family violence practitioners wer…
Strengthening everyday peace formation after ethnic cleansing
The concept of everyday peace largely draws on research that, to date, has sought more to explain observed social practices than inform peace interventions. This paper presents a case study of an attempt to operationalise the concept into local non-governmental organisation (NGO) programming, seeking to strengthen the formation of everyday peace between Rohingya and Rakhine communities in Myanmar after recent ethnic cleansing. This is believed to…
Worthwhile or wasteful? Assessing the need for a radical revision of evaluation in small-sized development NGOs
Recent years have heralded an unprecedented push for evaluation of non-government organisation (NGO) programmes. Meanwhile, there has been little consideration of how evaluation expectations affect small-sized development NGOs. Small NGOs contend with several challenges including limited staff skill-pools, stretched time, and insufficient funding. This paper investigates evaluative practices in 20 small development NGOs to examine how they check …
Using Social Psychology to Constructively Involve Colleagues in Internal Evaluation
Internal evaluators can lead positive, helpful, promotive interactions among colleagues to make evaluation more appropriate, understandable, and accessible. As the motivations and abilities of non-evaluator colleagues are highly varied, interpersonal skills help facilitate cooperation and promote evaluation. Social interdependence theory from social psychology can assist with understanding teamwork and developing interpersonal competence. While t…
A clash of values
Evaluation is experiencing increasing popularity with Western-leddiscourse hailing the worth of evidence-based practice, results based management, measurement, and value for money. While this orthodoxy of evaluation has been subjected to substantial critique, dissenting voices and local ways of doing have been over powered by the dominant paradigm, which privileges certain types of evidence over others. This paper examines the evident disconnects…
Living on the margins
This article examines disenfranchized grief experienced by culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) lesbians in Australia through a narrative single case study approach. This investigates the intersectionality of ethnic minority, homosexuality, and gender. Intersectionality creates a complex form of grief and loss which, in this case, is compounded through societal disenfranchisement. The narrative approach identifies elements of disenfranchi…
Baselines and monitoring
Monitoring is largely ignored in its capacity to provide a distinct contribution to evaluation. It is often thought of as a process of collecting data to feed into an evaluation, rather than for its own powerful transformative potential. Evaluation is considered a mechanism for producing findings that enable learning, improvement and decision-making; but what if monitoring could produce these same outcomes with, in some cases, greater alignment t…
Three principles of pragmatism for research on organizational processes
This article explicates pragmatism as a relevant and useful paradigm for qualitative research on organizational processes. The article focuses on three core methodological principles that underlie a pragmatic approach to inquiry: (1) an emphasis on actionable knowledge, (2) recognition of the interconnectedness between experience, knowing and acting and (3) inquiry as an experiential process. The authors' doctoral projects on non-government organ…

Children as capable evaluators
This paper explores the conceptualization of children and how this limits and enables opportunities for children to be active participants in society. These conceptualizations are put into applied settings by showcasing a practice example of a non‐government organization, Windermere, facilitating an evaluative feedback session with children. This provides a new angle from the bulk of peer‐reviewed literature which focuses on academic research wit…

Racial Differentials in the Impact of Maternal Cigarette Smoking During Pregnancy on Fetal Development and Mortality
Data from more than 60,000 births in the United States were reevaluated by statistical power analysis to determine if racial differentials existed in the impact of maternal cigarette smoking during pregnancy on low birth weight and infant mortality. The risk of mortality was significantly greater for infants of Black maternal smokers than Black nonsmokers. But the same relationship was not evident for Whites. The most dramatic increase in mortali…

Ethics and Evaluative Consultations with Children in Small to Mid-Sized Australian Non-Government Organisations
The value of listening to children's voices is well acknowledged. The vast body of literature surrounding this topic discusses children's voices in pedagogy, theory, methodology, and through empirical research. While some of this literature has focused on ethical considerations surrounding evaluative consultations with children in applied practice settings, there is a shortage of literature specifically relevant to small and medium-sized nongover…
Perceptions of poverty and the perpetuation of the capability-judgment cycle in outer southeast Melbourne

Evaluation Literacy
While there is an abundance of literature on evaluation use, there has been little discussion regarding internal evaluators’ role in promoting evaluation use. Evaluation can be undervalued if context is not taken into consideration. Evaluation literacy is needed to make evaluation more appropriate, understandable, and accessible, particularly in non-government organizations (NGOs) where there is a growing focus on demonstrable outcomes. Evaluatio…
