O knihe

This book examines the progress of institutionalisation of evaluation in Africa from various perspectives. It presents prior developments and current states of evaluation in 12 countries and 4 transnational organisations, focusing on three dimensions, namely the political, social and professional systems. These detailed country reports, which have been written by selected researchers of the respective countries, lead to a concluding African comparison and synthesis. This is the fourth and final volume of the compendium The Institutionalisation of Evaluation. The first volume on Europe was published in 2020, the second on the Americas in 2022, and the third on Asia-Pacific in 2023. The overall aim is to provide an interdisciplinary audience with cross-country learning to enable them to better understand the institutionalisation of evaluation in different nations, world regions and sectors.

The book also contains a final chapter in which the results from all published GLOBE volumes are systematically analysed for the first time in order to identify the driving and hindering forces in the institutionalization of evaluation and the challenges for the future of evaluation.
