Evaluating social development

View Item Record

Description:

A contrast is made between economic types of rural development projects, which tend to be quantitative, and social development projects, which are qualitative. A number of evaluation models were studied on particular social development projects. A before-and-after analysis of particular social development group projects generated five indicators by which such development could be quantified: activities, action, changes in group behaviour, nature of intervention, and relationship with other groups. Continual monitoring of these aspects is suggested through a number of methods. The importance of relevance in evaluation procedures for small scale projects is emphasised.
