dc.descriptionThis document emphasizes the importance of integrating evaluation into everyday program management within PVOs. It challenges myths around evaluation complexity and promotes practical, participatory, and audience-focused approaches to gather meaningful impact data.
dc.description.abstractOur workshop series confronted the task of shaping these general propositions into a framework for doing evaluation. Time and again, the workshops had to vanquish misconceptions like the following about the mystique of evaluation: "Evaluation requires a complex research approach that is beyond our capabilities," "You need qualified specialists to produce acceptable evaluations," "Evaluation is some-thing AID does for us anyway." These laments came up frequently. Our most important accomplishment in the workshops was recognition that PVO PRACTITIONERS CAN DO QUALITY EVALUATION!
