  32. So What?…10 Propositions for Discussion • Evaluation Methods must be compatible with Project/Program Management Style and Purpose • 'Objectivity' in evaluations can be enhanced with broad stakeholder participation and the involvement of external evaluators • Participatory evaluations require careful preparation and orchestration • Results based logic models can be a very helpful point of reference in the evaluation inquiry • Participatory evaluations can build mutual understanding and trust between stakeholders

  33. 10 Propositions, Continued… • Successful participatory evaluations allow critical reflection only when there is an atmosphere of mutual trust • Participatory evaluations can give staff the opportunity to a) examine their work from different vantage points and b) to consider findings/recommendations for future strategic planning • Care must be taken to balance transparency (and the public interest) with confidentiality - participatory evaluation should not erode the strategic position of the organization/ program/ project • At times, there are ethical considerations with the participation of potentially competing groups • Participatory evaluation practices can help the public to hold authorities accountable at many levels (local to national)
