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."

What matters in our work as evaluators ? Interview of Donna Mertens

Last year in Paris, Marc Tevini* and Kenza Bennani** and a chance to interview Donna Mertens about the transformative approach in evaluation, how to face the climate change issue, the dead angles in evaluation and the role of emerging evaluators.

▶ The full interview is available here : https://lnkd.in/d9Cswcp & on Twitter here : https://lnkd.in/d-QaQmw

Here's a glimpse of it :

▶ What matters in our work as evaluators is to raise up issues

▶ In a way that sheds light on the change needed in programs and policies

▶ There is rigorous scientific evidence that climate change is an issue

▶ A good evaluator should be critically reflective about such an oppressive issue

▶ We have to be ethical and honest about the values underpinning a program or policy

▶ We have to play the most important role of an evaluator, which is to ask provocative questions
