Evaluation in Contexts of Fragility, Conflict and Violence

Evaluation in Contexts of Fragility, Conflict and Violence

Evaluation – like development aid itself – can unintentionally exacerbate tensions in ways that can negatively affect people and institutions if care is not taken in designing and approaching it with caution and sensitivity. 

This practical guidance from global evaluation practitioners, released by International Development Evaluation Association, shows a diverse set of perspectives and experiences on sensitive issues when measuring change in unpredictable, complex, and violent situations. The concepts of gender and conflict sensitivity are widely discussed in the book, along with real time case examples, useful tips and further reading references.
