cacité ? En s’adressant à la fois aux commanditaires d’évaluations, aux évaluateurs et aux évalués, pour qu’ils se comprennent mieux, malgré les enjeux qui parfois les opposent, pour qu’ils partagent le langage et les méthodes de l’évaluation, et surtout pour qu’ils s’approprient plus complètement cet outil. Ils doivent l’utiliser sur mesure en fonction des spécificités de l’action évaluée, à l’opposé d’un exercice académique reproduit indépendamment de son contexte. Mais le sur mesure n’exclut pas certaines règles." (Page 1)

hip produce media which are ineffective and lacking in credibility. Too little regulation, on the other hand, may lead to the domination of commercial media ruled by advertising, to the detriment of serious content and of the interests of those without purchasing power – i.e. the poor. What is needed are policies that impose responsibilities as well as freedoms on the commercial sector, and that clarify and facilitate the role of the public service media. Effective media also need good management, and good professional and technical skills. The main purpose of this guide is to help governments and development agencies to decide whether to support the development of the media, and if so how." (Introduction, page 3)

ede jugar en la incidencia política es el fortalecimiento de la capacidad de otros grupos y organizaciones para incidir políticamente. El manual puede también ser útil para socios u otros grupos con quienes CARE trabaja en incidencia política. El manual proporciona una guía para identificar objetivos de incidencia política, crear un plan de acción y abogar de forma efectiva. Le hemos presentado a usted estos conceptos en una cierta secuencia. Sin embargo, las iniciativas de incidencia política muy pocas veces se desenvuelven de la misma forma. Es por eso que aconsejamos utilizar los capítulos de este manual como bloques que puede revisar a medida que descubre que los necesita. Estrategias de incidencia política pueden estar dirigidas hacia: crear políticas cuando se necesitan y cuando éstas no existen; cambiar políticas adversas o ineficaces; asegurar que buenas políticas se implementen. En este manual cambio de políticas se refiere tanto a la creación, cambio como también a la implementación de políticas." (Página iv)

"This manual is intended as an introduction to the theory and concepts of Outcome Mapping and as a guide to conducting an Outcome Mapping workshop. Although Outcome Mapping may be appropriate in various contexts, it has primarily been tested by development research organizations and programs working

in Canada, Africa, Latin America, and Asia. This manual reflects that perspective and Outcome Mapping may have to be adapted to be used with groups other than our constituency of researchers, scientific organizations, government officials, policymakers, and NGOs (for example, communities). Outcome Mapping has been developed in organizations where monitoring and evaluation are primarily intended to help with program learning and improvement. The tenor of a program’s approach to Outcome Mapping will necessarily be influenced by its own and its donor’s perspectives on monitoring and evaluation. Outcome Mapping will only be as empowering, participatory, and learning-oriented as the program that implements it. Outcome Mapping takes into consideration the threats and anxiety that can be associated with planning, monitoring and evaluation, especially in a donor/recipient relationship. It offers a participatory methodology that can help programs develop a system that can meet both accountability and learning needs." (Preface)
