This book analyses and documents the status of, and challenges for, development evaluation in this region. The collection covers three critical dimensions of making evaluation matter in development processes and change in South Asia: context, methods, and use. The chapters draw on a depth of experience from evaluators in several countries in South Asia to explore how the context in South Asia influences the methods that are appropriate for evaluating policies, programs and projects in this context, and the challenges to having evaluation findings used to influence and bring about change. The contributors to this volume are representative of the range of people involved in the evaluation field in South Asia. The intention of this book is not to establish a singular ‘voice' that speaks of South Asian Evaluation but to bring together different voices and perspectives to examine evaluation approaches, experiences, use, and relevance of South Asia and to begin to see what issues and questions emerge from that process.
