Abstract: Learning from development activities is both a management necessity and an important policy tool. Effective evaluation of development programs is made difficult, however, by a complex mix of enternal and external constraints. Moreover, much evaluation is too complex in design and in execution to serve the needs of decision makers for timely, relevant, and accurate information. This article explores the use of qualitative evaluation methods as a means to overcome these concerns. A case study demonstrating a disciplined application of qualitative analysts to monrtoring and evaluation in Thailand is presented.
