| Summary: | Evaluation Capacity Building (ECB) is an
often-discussed topic in developing countries and their
partner international institutions. This book takes on an
elusive yet frequently mentioned concept in development
evaluation ECB. Differences and divergences were apparent in
the spring of 2009, when the International Development
Evaluation Association (IDEAS) held its biannual global
assembly in Johannesburg, South Africa, around the theme of
'getting to results: evaluation capacity building and
development.' What became apparent was that a number of
challenges had already been identified, but that trying to
capture lessons learned on effective strategies was
difficult, because of the failure to agree upon a unique and
coherent definition of ECB, its various objectives and wide
scope, and the diversity of institutional contexts in which
it takes place. This book brings together the key papers
from that global assembly, as well as new papers that
reflect on what was learned and shared at the conference. |
