'The Road to Results: Designing and Conducting Effective
Development Evaluations' presents concepts and procedures for
evaluation in a development context. It provides procedures and
examples on how to set up a monitoring and evaluation system, how
to conduct participatory evaluations and do social mapping, and how
to construct a rigorous quasi-experimental design to answer an
impact question. The text begins with the context of development
evaluation and how it arrived where it is today. It then discusses
current issues driving development evaluation, such as the
Millennium Development Goals and the move from simple project
evaluations to the broader understandings of complex evaluations.
The topics of implementing 'Results-based Measurement and
Evaluation' and constructing a 'Theory of Change' are emphasized
throughout the text. Next, the authors take the reader down 'the
road to results, ' presenting procedures for evaluating projects,
programs, and policies by using a 'Design Matrix' to help map the
process. This road includes: determining the overall approach,
formulating questions, selecting designs, developing data
collection instruments, choosing a sampling strategy, and planning
data analysis for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method
evaluations. The book also includes discussions on conducting
complex evaluations, how to manage evaluations, how to present
results, and ethical behavior--including principles, standards, and
guidelines. The final chapter discusses the future of development
evaluation. This comprehensive text is an essential tool for those
involved in development evaluation."
