Evaluation: A Systematic Approach

The Fifth Edition of this bestselling book has been thoughtfully revised to make it the most useful and comprehensive resource in evaluation research today. New to this edition is: more coverage on meta-analysis, particularly in regard to its use in design and modification of programme intervention; revised and expanded coverage on programme monitoring and management; new chapters on quasi-experimental impact assessments; assessment of full-coverage programmes including a comparison of the differences in these procedures; and more examples and boxed exhibits of local and state evaluations.

The effective organization of the Fourth Edition has been retained, mirroring the way evaluation is practised - from diagnosis of a problem with a social programme through to the final stages of measuring and analyzing a specific programme.
