dc.descriptionIt explores how NGOs pioneered alternative evaluation methods in the 1980s and 1990s, moving beyond linear, blueprint models. The text critically examines participatory and qualitative approaches to Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), emphasizing organizational capacity, impact assessment, and people-centered strategies. It also revisits definitions of social development and highlights the convergence of macro and micro-level development thinking.
dc.description.abstractThis paper outlines the focus and aims of the international workshop on the evaluation of social development held in November 1996. The three main objectives of the workshop were: to provide a forum in which development agencies and individuals involved in evaluation of social development can make contact and exchange ideas on the issue; to update thinking and practice and to assess the current scenario; and to focus on the outcome-effect-impact aspects of the evaluation of social development.
