“…The difficulties and particular features of the operating environment in Gaza (i.e. nature of conflict; security) are important constraints that limit the validity of the findings and recommendations (Feinstein and Beck, 2006). The organizational culture in the humanitarian sector in Gaza, which is strictly related to the nature of this prolonged and recurrent conflict, for us represents one of the main limitations.…”

This article examines participatory evaluation of humanitarian aid projects in post-conflict contexts,\ud through the presentation of a particular case: the evaluation of a project supporting herders and\ud Bedouin communities breeding small ruminants in the Gaza Strip. The article analyses the current\ud situation in the Gaza Strip, a unique humanitarian context, in order to gain insight into the value of\ud participatory evaluation in post-conflict settings. The article analyses the participatory evaluation in\ud order to understand how participation functions, what lessons can be learned and what outcomes\ud can be generated. Finally, this experience demonstrates how participatory evaluation can work\ud effectively in humanitarian settings despite the obvious constraints of conflict and post-conflict\ud settings. Whilst participatory evaluation contributes to improving humanitarian-aid interventions, a\ud more structural approach to participation is needed to achieve concrete and durable results

Such approaches have been used in aid programmes (Feinstein & Beck, 2013). For example, the work of the United Kingdom government's Department for International Development includes the use of embedded evaluation (DFID, 2013).…”

“…This stems from the fact that "Policymakers are not only interested in 'evidence-based policy', but also wish to judge the effectiveness of specific interventions" (Befani, Ramalingam, & Stern, 2015, p. 1). The developmental evaluations usually follow the OECD DAC criteria -relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability (Andersen, 2014;Feinstein & Beck, 2007;Picciotto, 2014). Presently there is a renewed emphasis on measurement and certain evaluation methods, particularly experimental or quasi-experimental methods.…”

This article focuses on the experience of a bilateral educational aid project concerning a continuing professional development (CPD) programme for teachers with specific reference to Guinea-Bissau. The author was keen to understand how teachers and school principals perceived the impact of this CPD programme on the quality of teaching and learning. In this qualitative study data from teachers and school principals were collected by means of interviews, focus groups, field notes and documental analysis. The article argues that the programme improved the language skills of the teachers and impacted positively on scientific, pedagogical and didactic content.
