Participatory Evaluation as a Tool of International Participatory Development

Overview

In the realm of international development, evaluation with stakeholder involvement is frequently termed participatory monitoring and evaluation, or PM & E. While it can be applied to a wide spectrum of engagements, PM & E is commonly used in agriculture-related development and environmental contexts. For an overview of this perspective, see a policy briefing from the Institute of Development Studies located in the United Kingdom: IDS Policy Briefing #12, 1998.
