Recenzii

“The text provides an excellent resource for developing monitoring and evaluation frameworks for a wide range of organizations and programs. Students and practitioners are provided with a great resource that can help organizations better society, and maximize evaluation efficiency by integrating monitoring with evaluation.”
This book does a brilliant job of integrating program monitoring concepts into the broader field of evaluation.  It fills a glaring gap in the evaluation literature, and I highly recommend it for practicing evaluators, evaluation scholars, and evaluation faculty and students.

At last--a step-by-step guide to realizing the potential of monitoring and evaluation by building them in from the beginning. This book provides a systematic and well-tested approach to planning and successfully implementing an integrated monitoring and evaluation framework.
