Case study : SIRCA; building evaluation capacity - a review of awarding, mentoring and conferences
Abstract
In Utilization Focused Evaluation (UFE) evaluators facilitate a learning process with attention on how real people in the real world apply evaluation findings and experiences. The focus is on “intended use by intended users.” This case study is one of five test cases in the application of the UFE process towards strengthening research capacity, while introducing UFE as part of the work process. Singapore internet Research Centre (SiRCA) has developed broad based high quality, multidisciplinary social science research in ICT4D in Asia. Using the 12 steps outline of UFE, SiRCA analyzed its organizational gaps, developing a “theory of change.”
