Now more than ever, policy evaluation is an important component in
addressing the world's economic crisis. Before it can do so, the
discipline must adapt to changing economic and political
environments. The contributors address a basic question: What
impact do crises have on evaluation and how can evaluation
contribute in times of turbulence? Examining the state of
evaluation today, the volume's editors cover a broad range of
topics, including post-hoc evaluation; shifting economic paradigms;
the World Bank Group's response to the global economic crisis;
challenges in evaluating financial literacy; evaluating
counter-terrorism programs; evaluation in the context of
humanitarian crises; and why civil society organizations in
sub-Saharan Africa matter in evaluating poverty interventions. The
contributors explore the role of evaluation in the search for
solutions to global instability. They recognize, however, that in
order to address unprecedented crises, evaluation itself needs to
be evaluated and updated as part of the process of change and
reform. This volume is the latest in Transaction's well-respected
Comparative Policy Evaluation series.
