From pioneering leaders in the field, this is the first book to
provide a solid foundation for three major stakeholder involvement
approaches: collaborative, participatory, and empowerment evaluation.
Highlighting differences among the approaches, the authors focus on
the role of the evaluator, who may be in charge of the evaluation,
share control, or serve as a "critical friend," leaving stakeholders
in control. Practitioners are guided to select and implement the most
appropriate framework for the purpose and scope of a given evaluation
and the needs of community members and funders. For each approach, a
chapter on essential features is followed by two chapters presenting
actual sample evaluations--for example, early childhood and community
health initiatives, an aquarium, a project with Google, and more. The
concluding chapter discusses similarities and circumstances in which
the approaches can be combined.
