L'aide humanitaire dans les pays en développement: qui évalue qui ?

Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos

Mondes en développement, 2011, vol. n°153, issue 1, 111-120

Abstract: Humanitarian NGOs which help developing countries are usually assessed by their funders, not their beneficiaries. Such a system brings several conflicts of interest : 1) it needs to be approved by those who are evaluated and so does not deal with ?bad eggs? that refuse to be investigated ; 2) it produces biased analysis, doesn?t name names and passes over fundamental issues ; 3) it is very formal and technocratic, if not meaningless ; 4) it does not help to learn from past mistakes. Hence this article proposes a framework to develop third party evaluations.
