Recenzii
"Professional competence in the practice of evaluation now requires a thorough understanding of the most widely used trio of evaluation models—participatory, collaborative, and empowerment evaluation. This means more than—though it must include—their definitions and differences. It means an understanding of the great range of practical details and difficulties that each involve. This book is the best way to get that essential understanding of collaborative evaluation, which is, in my view, the most sensible of the three approaches: It's well-organized, clearly written, interesting, and comprehensive—really earning the title of a handbook."—Michael Scriven, Professor of Psychology, Claremont Graduate University and Past President, American Evaluation Association and American Educational Research Association
"This book is a powerful and essential tool for community-based organizations preparing to increase service delivery and program outcomes. Decreased funding has caused many leaders to shift their focus to new approaches to stakeholder involvement. National centers are raising funding accountability. This book is the #1 guide for leaders."—Debra E. Thrower, Professor of Social Work, Saint Leo University
"Collaborative Evaluations is a practical guide which demystifies evaluation with a user-friendly language and simple descriptions of its purpose and the process.

I would recommend this improved second edition to all who believe that effective stakeholder engagement is key to the usefulness of evaluations."—Dieudonné Mouafo, Chief, Evaluation Unit, United Nations Volunteers
