Jackson, Edward T. - Nama Orang
Kassam, Yusuf - Nama Orang

This is a most welcome addition to the growing world literature on partici-patory research and evaluation. It is welcome because there is a large and con-tinuing interest in participatory evaluation on the world scene. Non-governmental organizations, government social agencies, intergovernmentalbodies, and social movement structures of many types have expressed a pref-erence for participatory forms of evaluation.

This book provides readerswith a variety of articles covering such critical themes as ethics, techniques,case studies, historic reflections, and invitations to action. Further, this anthol-ogy brings together some of the best-known specialists from many parts of theworld. This is a book that has a global feel because it is an articulation of aglobal network of colleagues who in a variety of formal and informal ways fol-low and support one another’s work
