Le développement des capacités pour les évaluateurs de programmes

Apporter une solution au mauvais problème?

Abstract

Although the three articles in this segment propose well-founded systems for capacity development, they are fairly silent on the fundamental issue of how the development of the competencies of individual evaluators will improve the positioning of evaluation in public management and expand evaluation’s contribution to societal change. Without disagreeing with the move toward capacity development of evaluators, this article notes that the evaluation function within public systems remains underdeveloped and underfunded and recommends parallel progress on other fronts toward more adequate resources and structures in evaluation.
