In Ethics for Evaluation the diverse perspectives on ethical
guidance in evaluation are untangled and ordered in a theoretical
framework focusing on evaluations doing no harm, tackling bad and
doing good. Divided into four parts a diverse group of subject
experts present a practical look at ethics, utilizing practical
experience to analyze how ethics have been applied in evaluations
and how new approaches can shape the future of ethics. The chapters
collectively create a common understanding of the potential role of
ethics to infuse policy decisions and stakeholder initiatives with
evaluations that provide better insight and potential solutions for
problems, going beyond "what works" to what needs to be done and
what would help. The methodological scope ranges from working in
contexts of fragility, conflict and violence, to participatory and
decolonized approaches, including the ethical imperatives posed by
global crises such as climate change, inequity and exploitative
international relations. Ethics for Evaluation presents evaluators,
commissioners of evaluation, policymakers and practitioners with
inspiration for an ethical perspective on how evaluation can
contribute towards solving problems. It presents a solid foundation
for inclusive terminology and ethics guidance that would be the
heart of a global exercise in professionalization of ethical
evaluation practice.

Animal welfare is attracting increasing interest worldwide,
especially in developed countries where the knowledge and resources
are available to (at least potentially) provide better management
systems for farm animals, as well as companion, zoo and laboratory
animals. The key requirements for adequate food, water, a suitable
environment, appropriate companionship and good health are
important for animals kept for all of these purposes. There has
been increased attention given to farm animal welfare in many co-
tries in recent years. This derives largely from the fact that the
relentless pursuit of nancial reward and ef ciency, to satisfy
market demands, has led to the devel- ment of intensive animal
production systems that challenge the conscience of many consumers
in those countries. In developing countries, human survival is
still a daily uncertainty, so that p- vision for animal welfare has
to be balanced against human needs. Animal welfare is usually a
priority only if it supports the output of the animal, be it food,
work, clothing, sport or companionship. In principle the welfare
needs of both humans and animals can be provided for, in both
developing and developed countries, if resources are properly
husbanded. In reality, however, the inequitable division of the
world's riches creates physical and psychological poverty for
humans and a- mals alike in many parts of the world.
