Evaluation reimagined.
Transformations realised
Dedicated to our beautiful planet. To every living and non-living being. To a partnership between people and nature. To harmony between societies. To valuing lives in the Global South equal to those in the North. To every person who deserves a life of hope and fulfilment.
And to better understanding the bigger picture that shapes how we think, and what we do.
MY TOPICS
Evaluation for Development with all its posts has transformed into Evaluation for Transformation.
I write about evaluation as a ‘beautiful practice’ - but a practice that has to change to meet the demands of this era. Below are my topics.

THE BIG PICTURE
The larger context and possible future trajectories within which we need to place our plans, our reflections and our work on transformation and evaluation.
CHANGE, TRANSFORMATION AND EVALUATION
Deepening our understanding of change, and connecting the value and practice of evaluation with transformative development towards thriving societies, flourishing ecosystems, and a regenerated planet – from a Global South viewpoint.
BRIDGING CULTURES, DECOLONISING EVALUATION
We need new narratives, theories, models and methods to counter single stories about change, about ‘development’, and about evaluation.
TITBITS AND SNIPPETS
I read obsessively about topics related to evaluation, global transformation, transformative development, science, macro to micro trends and possible futures, and life in general. Here I reflect on resources and issues I find inspiring, intriguing, or disconcerting.
EVALUATION AS PRACTICE
Random perspectives, trends, innovations and methods that are shaping or can shape evaluation.
EVALUATING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Scientific knowledge is crucial for sustainable development – and so is good evaluation of research portfolios, quality and impact.
GUEST BLOGGERS
Valued colleagues write about a wide range of subjects, including for and with Young and Emerging Evaluators (YEEs).
