Practical Monitoring and Evaluation: A Systems Thinking Approach

En savoir plus sur le livre

Entities for evaluation are systems. The entities include projects, programmes, institutions, organizations, policies, themes, agendas, and even nation states. There is increasing awareness that the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of the said entities require the systems thinking approach. However, systems thinking has an aura of complicated mathematics and complex concepts. This has caused M&E stakeholders, who are not versed in the approach, to keep their distances. This has in turn led to evaluations missing out on opportunities for increased utility. M&E could benefit from ‘Systems Thinking in M&E Made Simple’. This is the motivation for this book. It is offered to all those involved in/with M&E in the various entities.
