Publisher's Synopsis
Evaluating Development Assistance in Theory and in Practice provides a systematic overview of aid evaluation, its history, underlying assumptions, methods, weaknesses and challenges faced. It is based on four actual case studies of evaluation processes undertaken in four different developing countries. This book also establishes links between the considerable literature on theoretical aspects of evaluation and the field of development assistance evaluation. The book is particularly useful for scholars and students in the fields of development studies and evaluation research as well as for aid practitioners in aid agencies and consultancy companies.
