Abstract

Different approaches to development evaluation are discussed in this chapter, noting that most have been present throughout the history of development but with certain approaches emphasized and promoted at different historical points for political and other reasons. The paper shows how these approaches to development evaluation reflect different ideas about what development is and how evaluation can contribute to improving it. It brings together insights from different disciplines and sectors regarding the evolution of evaluation approaches and their applications.
