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."

Thank you very much for your approach.I absolutely agree with you, foremost to the fact that recommendations and lessons learned sometimes does not use for stakeholders and decision makers.

On the other hand, I consider that attitudes and strong thoughts within institutions and organizations, for instance related to traditional roles between women and men, delaying women´s advancement avoiding to obtain better outcomes; as a result, they are not ready to apply this knowledge and putting in practice, when it comes to the crunch. In sum, evaluation must be a learning process...

And as you mentioned "Use evaluation to create social change".

Warm regards!

Paloma

Hi Florence, 

If you want to learn more about UFE, there is a lot of information at evaluationandcommunicationinpractice.net

I echo your frustration about the end-line evaluations. Identifying the key user (s) is key and not to be mistaken with an audience. Users will vary depending on the purpose, intended use and key questions you need answered! So identifying the User is an iterative process - and well worth the time spent doing so. Hope this helps!

Best wishes

Sonal

Thank you very much for sharing, am so impressed and interested in learning more about UFE.

As a development worker am so challenged about involvement of users in an evaluation especially when most of the evaluations are done as end-line. Who are the users anyway?
