"This is a practical and well structured manual aiming to use self-evaluation for organisational learning. The book consists of four parts. "The evaluation context" introduces the role of monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment as part of the project cycle logic. "The evaluation process" describes steps to be taken in designing and implementing an evaluation. The third part, "evaluation tools", gives a practical insight to major evaluation methods like SWOT analysis, questionnaires (and their design), focus groups or case studies. The fourth and main part provides evaluation guidelines for training courses, newsletters, websites, small libraries and resource centres, online communities, rural radios, databases and selective dissemination of information services."
