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."

International Year of Evaluation

EvalPartners, the international partnership to strengthen
national evaluation capacities,  has announced 2015 as the International Year of Evaluation - EvalYear (EY). EvalYear will be a unique opportunity to focus specifically on Evaluation in all its diversity.  It will act as a catalyst for important
conversations and thinking, at international, regional, national, and
sub-national level, on the role of evaluation in good governance for equitable
and sustainable human development. The intention of EvalYear is to position
evaluation in the policy arena, by raising awareness of the importance of
embedding evaluation systems in the development and implementation of the
forthcoming Sustainable Development Goals, and all other critical local
contextualized goals, at the international and national levels. EvalYear is
about taking mutual responsibility for policies and social action through
greater understanding, transparency, and constructive dialogue.

Please find attached information about the EY and more information is available on EvalPartners website.
