"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." "Bringing together a broad range of case studies and discussions between practitioners, academics, donors and policymakers, the book explores conceptual, methodological, institutional and policy issues in participatory monitoring and evaluation. It distils the common themes and experiences in participatory monitoring and evaluation to show the challenges - and far-reaching benefits - of the approach." "Learning from Change will be of value to readers interested in processes of participatory development, as well as to all development professionals, including fieldworkers, practitioners, researchers and policymakers."--Jacket
