RE: The pervasive power of western evaluation culture: how and in what ways do you wrestle with ensuring evaluation is culturally appropriate and beneficial to those who legitimise development aid? | Eval Forward

Dear Ana,

Many thanks for responding, for sharing John’s 10 questions and his email address. 
 

I wonder: has anyone else come across them or questions similar to them? And, if so, have you been asked them? If not, have you asked them of yourself in designing an evaluation? 
 

It seems to me, responses to them could usefully inform the design of evaluation and/or help teams adequately prepare. That is, rather than waiting for community members to ask them on ‘arrival’, so to say.

 

Does not doing so run the risk of potentially de-railing the process and wasting community members’ time?
 

What do you or others think?  

Many thanks again Ana and will connect with John to find out more.

With best wishes,

Daniel
