The Annotated Bibliography Of International Programme Evaluation

The evaluation profession has experienced rapid growth in the past five years. Prior to 1995, five regional and/or national evaluation organizations existed; today, there are more than twenty-five. With chapters from Africa, Asia, Australasia, Eastern and Western Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East, and North America, this bibliography is an attempt to tap into this rapid growth. Each chapter contains a short introduction describing the state of the art of evaluation in the region. References in each chapter contain information about authors, title, source, keywords, and description. Where possible, the keywords indicate country, sector, and evaluation approach. A useful feature of the bibliography is the index of authors and keywords. One look at the index and the reader will see how much evaluators from different regions have to learn from each other. This bibliography will help disseminate innovations in evaluation found in one region to other regions of the world. In this way, this book will enrich the theory and practice of evaluation worldwide.
