Decolonizing Monitoring and Evaluation Frameworks in Africa - Blessing Barnet Chiniko

Decolonizing Monitoring and Evaluation Frameworks in Africa uniquely dismantle extractive, Western-centric evaluation models and champions decolonized, people-centered Monitoring and Evaluation frameworks across Africa. This book is not merely theoretical; it is deeply rooted in transformative action. For instance, by designing integrated management plans for local authorities, utilizing results-based management frameworks to optimize organizations' resource allocation and service delivery, ensuring that critical infrastructure projects are backed by robust, data- driven accountability mechanisms that directly improve healthy community outcomes. It replaces outdated metrics with tailored, context-specific monitoring and evaluation frameworks that capture the true nuances of local realities by modernizing baseline and endline surveys to reflect complex environmental and social variables, and by pioneering advanced data and outcome analyses.
