In the context of Agenda 2030, all countries are expected to put in place rigorous and effective monitoring and evaluation processes to track progress. Yet countries are at different levels of evaluation capabilities. At the same time, development interventions are becoming more complex, with similar consequences for the evaluations designed to assess them. Thirdly, new technologies and sources of data are increasingly becoming available, and evaluators are continually developing new and more sophisticated methods.
Sharing good practices and innovations in evaluation can help evaluators to learn from each other, to tackle challenges and continually strengthen the profession. This edition of Evaluation Matters aims to showcase selected good, new or innovative evaluation methods that have contributed to be"er evaluations of development.
