5.0 out of 5 starsCogent, Succinct, and Informative
By Ahmed Qadir on July 26, 2005
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
With increasing pressure on public sector and non-profit organisations to move from activity-based management to a more results-based orientation, Ms. Kusek and Mr. Rist of the World Bank have written what they call a Handbook for Development Practitioners.

The challenges associated with moving towards a results-based monitoring and evaluation system are broken down into ten steps, each with relevant background material, and a set of questions to guide one through the process. For example, in step one - Conducting a Readiness Assessment, eight key questions are highlighted such as (i) what potential pressures are highlighting the need for an M&E system within the public sector? (v) how wil the system support better resource allocation and the achievement of program goals? (vii) where does capacity exist to support a results-based M&E system? Other chapters have similar guides, checklists, etc.

Though both authors are from the World Bank, examples from other donors and activities in other countries provide a wide perspective throughout the text.

I have been reading this book in conjunction with Paul Niven's Balanced Scorecard Step-by-Step for Government and Nonprofit Agencies (ISBN: 0471423289) as both define and describe inputs, outputs, outcomes, and performance measures in great detail and put them all together in an "overall performance-based framework."

If you are interested in aid effectiveness, the Millennium Development Goals, monitoring of poverty reduction strategies in developing countries, and performance measurement, you must have a copy of this book.

By Dr. D. A. L. Coldwell on April 16, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is clearly written and systematic. A very useful basis for creating a new curriculum in management analysis, monitoring and evaluation and one which many academics in the area of Business Research Methods will find very informative and instructive in building a resource that breaks the bonds of simple dissertation writing.
