Author Description

The Oxford Handbook of Program Evaluation in the Global South reimagines how we assess policies and programs in the global south. Moving beyond Western-dominated approaches, it showcases innovative methods rooted in local knowledge and priorities-from Africa's homegrown evaluation frameworks to Latin America's participatory models. This volume explores how evaluators are adapting to crises such as climate change and pandemics, while addressing systemic inequities. With real-world examples across more than fifteen countries, it offers fresh perspectives for practitioners and policymakers seeking culturally relevant, justice-centered approaches to measuring impact. More than a technical guide, the Handbook is a manifesto for transforming evaluation into a tool for empowerment and decolonization.
