evaluative culture, contribution analysis, John Mayne, evaluation capacity building, organizational learningAbstract
John Mayne maintained that an evaluative culture is essential for results-based management to be integrated and be of significance. He described conditions and actions necessary for such a culture. This article presents Mayne’s ideas and the experience of evaluators employing Mayne’s suggestions in their attempt to build an evaluative culture. The conclusion drawn is that more of our evaluation approaches and practices should connect to, or contribute to, an evaluative culture within organizations.
