Practicing evaluation: a collaborative approach Rita O'Sullivan Practicing Evaluation: A Collaborative Approach Sage...

This book is based on the author 's experience of undertaking evaluation across a variety of places and programmes, motivated by a desire to contribute to 'social service' programmes. The author promotes an approach called collaborative evaluation, which has similarities with participatory and empowerment evaluation. However, she suggests that this book demonstrates some 'novel variations' which should cause experienced evaluators to 'reflect on their practice ad the reasons they proceed in the manner they do'.
