Monitoring And Evaluation Of Policies, Programmes And Projects – 9780627042713

Description

The need for results delivery in private and public sector organisations has increased and along with it the pressure on organisations to demonstrate their performance. As operational resources remain limited, organisations are effectively being expected to deliver more results with less input, and it has become even more essential to consider from the outset how the success, failure or progress of any endeavour will be periodically examined. Monitoring and evaluation of policies, programmes and projects examines the key concepts and practices involved in performance tracking and evaluation. Monitoring and evaluation of policies, programmes and projects carefully balances theory and practice to make the content easy to understand and apply in the workplace. This edition also begins unpacking the issue of decolonialisation and the emerging area of indigenous monitoring and evaluation. Monitoring and evaluation of policies, programmes and projects is aimed at university students (particularly those in management and public administration) as well as practitioners and decision-makers in private and public sector organisations.
