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
thank you so much for your good example and clarification, actually the examples you talk about are exactly my views/ my concerns and it is just a consideration to initiate any step for evaluation.
Let me put my comments as follows: I was a country Research Collector when I made a data collection for determination of baseline study and the realities observed are:
(1). Design the tool and test before starting any activities;
(2). Use of local staff who understand the local context and we just make a translation of the tools in our local language with purpose to avoid any misunderstanding/bias;
(3). We have collected a lot of information and targeted many groups of population to participate in the research;
(4). We have a serious issue to be considered in our research and we must understand the contact of our respondents vis a vis for example meeting with women violated and sexual workers as are part of our research.
