Half Empty or Half Full? The State of Development Evaluation 2013
By Craig Charney | video | December 17, 2013
Half Empty or Half Full? The State of Development Evaluation, 2013
Dr. Charney presents the progress made in development evaluation – and how far there is still to go, based on a survey of 624 development evaluation professionals connected with SID-W. His talk is aimed at all the groups involved in the poll – development contractors, funders, and independent operators. Topics will include:
- How often projects include both performance and impact, or baseline and follow-up evaluations
- Mixed results on overall satisfaction with evaluations
- Adequacy of evaluation funding – and its surprising impact on outcomes
- Major problems evaluators face
- Limited awareness of USAID evaluation guidelines
- Information sources available and desired on development evaluation
- Topics of interest to the evaluation community
After the talk, you will know what needs to be done to improve evaluation practice generally – and specific steps that can be taken to meet these needs.
