'Developmental Evaluation' expert seminar with
Dr. M.Q. Patton, 22 March 2012, Wageningen,
the Netherlands
An expert seminar will be organised on Developmental Evaluation by the world famous evaluation expert Dr. Michael Quinn Patton!
Developmental evaluation is based on insights from complex dynamic systems, uncertainty, nonlinearity, and emergence. Dr. Michael Quinn Patton will discuss the developmental evaluation framework as detailed in his book ‘Developmental Evaluation: Applying Complexity Concepts to Enhance Innovation and Use’. Patton will illustrate how developmental evaluation can contribute to: ongoing programme development; adapting effective principles of practice to local contexts; generating innovations and taking them to scale; and facilitating rapid response in crisis situations. Participants will discuss developmental evaluation’s value for the development sector. How is this framework different from existing practice of ongoing reflective monitoring in development? What new insights can help strengthen the utility of evaluation for development?
This expert seminar is organised by Wageningen UR Centre for Development Innovation in collaboration with learning by Design, Context, international cooperation, GIZ and Hivos. Mark your calender!
