Synopsis:
This path-breaking book provides a balanced and comprehensive coverage of current research and practice on the role of evaluation in supporting governance for sustainable development and learning.
This accessible study draws lessons from how evaluation studies and evaluation systems forward the agendas of sustainable development and good governance, by opening up decision-making processes to stakeholders, supporting evidence-based, coherent and transparent decision making, integrating concerns of the three domains of sustainable development into decision making and supporting learning and capacity building. It assesses how political-administrative realities affect the design and use of evaluation studies as well as the institutionalization of monitoring and evaluation systems.
The contributors expertly review recent European experience with evaluation at the EU, national, regional and local levels which will appeal to researchers specializing in regional, political and sustainability sciences and practitioners in the area of policy/program evaluation and sustainable development.
