F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Books on collaborative methods in international development evaluation

Hello All!
Recently I was asked to compile a list of authors / books I find useful in informing my work on collaborative methods in evaluation. I came up with the following list , where not all authors talk about collaboration but bring up some great points about working in the international development context. I would be grateful if you could add to this list!

1. Patton - principle- focused and utilization- focused evaluation - and developmental evaluation
2. Mertens, D. M., & Wilson, A. T. (2012). Program evaluation theory and practice: A comprehensive guide. New York, NY: Guilford Press. - This volume is great for explaining the multiple branches of the evaluation tree
3. J.B. Cousins - participatory evaluation
4. Elizabeth Whitmore - transformative participatory evaluation
5. Fetterman - emancipatory evaluation
6. Rodney Hopson and Stafford Hood - culturally-responsive evaluation
7. Bamberger - Complexities in international development evaluation
8. Irene Guijt - Participatory evaluation
9. Offir - development evaluation
10. Donna Podems - Democratic Evaluation

Thanks,
Akashi

Hi Akashi,

possibly this book is also useful: 'Managing for Sustainable Development Impact. An Integrated Approach to Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation' : https://tinyurl.com/k4vt3bd  it is published in April 2017

It builds on the earlier work of Irene Guijt  and Jim Woodhill (2002) , and we have expanded on the approach over the years.  Very much works from a participatory and learning oriented perspective.

Kind regards,
