More Description
Current approaches to Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) in health and social development are often expensive and are conducted in order to demonstrate success, rather than to learn how change occurs and what works within a particular context. Responding to these concerns, this book will illustrate the potential of interpretative methods to aid understanding and make a difference on the ground. Through a focus on individual and community perspectives, and locally-grounded explanations, the ethnographically-informed methods explored in this book offer a potentially richer way of assessing the relationships between intent, action and change in health and social development.
