Participation has become a critical concept in development, increasingly employed in the planning and implementation of development programmes. Learning from Change takes participation one step further by exploring its use in the monitoring and evaluation of those programmes.Part 1 of the book provides a general overview of participatory monitoring and evaluation, synthesizing literature surveys and regional reviews of practice around the globe. Part 2 presents case studies that illustrate the diverse range of settings and contexts in which participatory monitoring and evaluation are being applied. Part 3 raises the key issues and challenges arising from the case studies and the workshop proceedings, and proposes areas for future research and action. This volume will be of value to readers interested in processes of participatory development, including fieldworkers, practitioners, researchers and policy makers.
