This issue of New Directions for Evaluation deals with the special evaluation problems of programs in the developing world. Over the last two decades, the framework of economic and social development policy and practice has been transformed. This is due in part to evaluation lessons, which have helped to shape the new development priorities toward sustainability, participation, and insitutional development. In turn, evaluation must deal with the consequences of a more demanding agenda, a more fractured development constituency, and a vastly more complex set of analytical questions. This publication presents the views of development policy makers, practitioners, and evaluators on the kinds of adjustments needed in the approaches, instruments, and processes used by development evaluators. The chapters were discussed in draft form at a Conference on Evaluation and Development, hosted by the world Bank in Washington, D.C., in December 1994. The resulting collection offers a consistent framework for further debate and proposes new emphases for development evaluation. This is the 67th issue in the journal series New Directions for Evaluation. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.
