Evaluation Capacity Development

The Costa Rican planning ministry Mideplan presents this first thematic evaluation from Southern perspective in the scope of the 2030 Agenda. The report is in Spanish and focuses on the topic of the “non-repayable international development interventions in the fields of biodiversity and climate change in Costa Rica in the period from 2010 to 2018”. This is the first time that a partner country has evaluated an entire sector of development cooperation, i.e. the activities of all donors in multiple SDGs.

Este manual de evaluación participativa fue gestado en el contexto de la pandemia del COVID-19, como expresión desde el campo de la evaluación. Frente a la fragilidad y los límites de la autosuficiencia, proponemos rescatar la pluralidad de voces y perspectivas de las personas involucradas en los procesos de desarrollo.

This book compiles seven evaluation stories in development contexts, which in a diversified and innovative manner, produced positive effects in the place in which they took place. Scattered all over Latin America and the Caribbean, these narratives cover evaluation of interventions that worked with children, rural young people, indigenous women, health programmes and university self-evaluation.
