New approaches are needed to monitor and evaluate health and social
development. Existing strategies tend to require expensive,
time-consuming analytical procedures. The growing emphasis on
results-based programming has resulted in evaluation being
conducted in order to demonstrate accountability and success,
rather than how change takes place, what works and why. The
tendency to monitor and evaluate using log frames and their
variants closes policy makers' and practitioners' eyes to the
sometimes unanticipated means by which change takes place. Two
recent developments hold the potential to transcend these
difficulties and to lead to important changes in the way in which
the effects of health and social development programming are
understood. First, there is growing interest in ways of monitoring
programmes and assessing impact that are more grounded in the
realities of practice than many of the 'results-based' methods
currently utilised. Second, there are calls for the greater use of
interpretive and ethnographic methods in programme design,
monitoring and evaluation. Responding to these concerns, this book
illustrates the potential of interpretative methods to aid
understanding and make a difference in real people's lives. Through
a focus on individual and community perspectives, and
locally-grounded explanations, the methods explored in this book
offer a potentially richer way of assessing the relationships
between intent, action and change in health and social development
in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas.
