This book, serves as a comprehensive guide for students, professionals, and practitioners involved in planning, managing, and assessing development programmes and interventions. Structured into five logical blocks, the book systematically covers the conceptual foundations, tools, processes, and practical applications of evaluation.Beginning with Block 1, it introduces the basics of evaluation and explores key evaluation theories that inform modern assessment practices. Block 2 focuses on the evaluation process itself—how evaluations are conducted, designed, and refined, including meta-evaluation techniques to ensure quality and accountability.Block 3 equips readers with essential programme management techniques, including SWOT analysis, bar charts, and stakeholder networking—tools necessary for strategic thinking and effective implementation. In Block 4, the emphasis shifts to practical evaluation tools and models, including the widely used Logic Framework Approach (LFA), providing step-by-step guidance on logical planning and performance assessment.The final block, Block 5, delves into impact assessment, offering insights into selecting indicators, applying assessment methodologies, and conducting Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for sustainable programme outcomes.Combining theoretical depth with practical examples, this book is ideal for those pursuing studies in development planning, rural management, public administration, and NGO project management. It empowers readers to design robust evaluation systems, measure outcomes effectively, and contribute meaningfully to evidence-based policy-making and development effectiveness.
