Participatory Learning and Action series, issue 42: Children's Participation – Evaluating Effectiveness

Project evaluation is a very important part of any development project, but rarely includes the participation of the people affected by the development. This paper highlights the importance of community involvement in the process, and in particular children. Citing examples from a number of different projects, the author also suggests evaluation should begin at the start of any project.
