Evaluation and politics: tips and barriers to use

Journal of Development Effectiveness, 2016, vol. 8, issue 3, 436-445

Abstract: In 2014, an annual lecture series was established in honour of Howard White, the first executive director of the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie). Each year, a 3ie selection committee invites a distinguished international development professional to deliver a lecture on a topic related to 3ie’s mission. This paper is a transcription of the second lecture in that series on use of evaluation. The author gives the perspective from different development organisations in which she worked, including for research, decision-making and commissioning bodies and presents key lessons on getting evidence used in decision-making.
