Abstract:

When involved in social change processes, how can one learn about what is happening in ways that strengthen the work? What kinds of assessment processes are possible and with what values should they take place? What types of issues might be important to consider and what methodological options exist? This literature review seeks to provide readings that address these questions. The readings cover more than the monitoring and learning about social change work - they focus on how such monitoring and learning can work for and strengthen social change. Therefore the readings refer to a broad range of key concepts that are important in assessment processes of social change.
