Comments on Quinn Patton and Segone webminar
I thank you both for such an interesting webinar and all criteria you provide to us.
I have been working on development for the last twenty five years and became aware of the importance to use objective vericable indicators to keep learning and improving our projects. So I agree completly with the idea of working on systemic and dynamic processes for evaluating and mainly learning to improve our knowledge and results in the future.
After several years working with field teams, as well with benefiaries and financial support teams, I was able to develop and publish a dynamic and participative systemathization method base on the information of a transparent and symple evaluation system, which I presented at Lund University Sweden in 2008, and use it now for teaching at the M.Sc. at the Catholic Bolivian University here in La Paz Bolivia.
Is it possible to share with you the article published in Lund?, and if yes, where can I send it? I would like to improve it knowing your comments.
Thank you again for the high interesting webinar.
