Book Description: Evaluation and politics are related in a number of ways. While programme evaluators have traditionally tried to be neutral, objective and scientific in their assessment of programmes, the results of evaluation are inherently political -- and are used by politicians, programme administrators, special interest groups and other stakeholders for political purposes. The effectiveness of evaluation depends upon incorporating political reality into evaluation. This book takes the first steps to help evaluators do this.The contributors, distinguished evaluation researchers and policy analysts, argue that since evaluation cannot be divorced from its political context, the political dimension must be understood in order to conduct effective evaluations. They provide diverse perspectives on the political nature of evaluation and the role of the evaluator in politics and policy.
