Julian Caldecott

Aid Performance and Climate Change

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book will encourage government officials who commission aid evaluations to require the use of evaluation protocols that incorporate the impact of climate change and related factors. These protocols are based on guidelines by the OECD Development Assistance Committee, but are extended to address climate change, mass extinction and water crises, the wasteful and contradictory practices of aid agencies, and weak learning arrangements. Combining an empirical, eye-witness approach with methodological conclusions, this book is an essential resource for those looking to improve aid design and evaluation, and will be a necessary tool in the training of the next generation of aid professionals.
