Appreciative inquiry approach to evaluation

[Gana Pati Ojha]

Appreciative Inquiry and Evaluation (AIAE) is a recent development in the evaluation realm. The AIAE focuses on root causes of what worked, why it worked and how it worked. The evaluation results are used right way for revisiting vision/goal/objective, redefining strategy and refining plan of work of programme being evaluated. As the evaluation results are used right way to improve the programme, this evaluation enhances the use of evaluation.

Gana Pati Ojha, Tessie Catsambas and R.C. Lamichhane conducted a workshop on AIAE in the Evaluation Conclave 2013 organised by the Community of Evaluators in collaboration with Community of Evaluators Nepal at Hyatts Regency Kathmandu. The PPT presentation is attached. AIEval-Hyatts-.ppt
