PROGRAMME EVALUATION

I embrace the notion that versatility, rather than specialization, marks the successful researcher of today. However, conscious of the continuing challenge of making purposeful, deliberate, and organized efforts to implement creative new initiatives (and improve existing ones) aimed at remedying the serious deficiencies in the quality of human life, I am particularly interested in evaluations (both quantitative and qualitative) of social programmes. In the literature and in this site the terms "evaluation", "programme evaluation" and "evaluation research" are used interchangeably.
