Learning about the effects of development education programmes. Towards a learning centred monitoring and evaluation practice
Year: 2014
Type: report
Abstract: This paper reports on the results of an action research project (2010-2013) in which ten Belgian organisations who implement development education programmes explored different planning, monitoring, and evaluation (PME) approaches with the aim of learning more effectively about their results. PME approaches piloted included outcome mapping, most significant change, scoring tools and survey instruments. This report seeks to further the debate about the implications of the complexity of development education programmes for their PME. Such debate is needed in view of a growing call for results-based management of externally funded development education programmes. Based on the literature from the fields of international development cooperation and development education, and supported by the research results, we argue that there is a need for alternative results-based management approaches that promote learning and help actors involved in development education deal with unpredictability and non-linearity.
