Practical Monitoring and Evaluation: A Systems Thinking Approach

Více o knize

Entities for evaluation are systems. The entities include projects, programmes, institutions, organizations, policies, themes, agendas, and even nation states. There is increasing awareness that the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of the said entities require the systems thinking approach. However, systems thinking has an aura of complicated mathematics and complex concepts. This has caused M&E stakeholders, who are not versed in the approach, to keep their distances. This has in turn led to evaluations missing out on opportunities for increased utility. M&E could benefit from ‘Systems Thinking in M&E Made Simple’. This is the motivation for this book. It is offered to all those involved in/with M&E in the various entities.
