Reviews

'A welcome shift from monitoring as mere data collection that fixates on standard indicators! This in-depth yet accessible analysis will inspire many practitioners throughout the world.' Michel Pimbert, International Institute for Environment and Development 'An extremely insightful book for managers who struggle to design institutional monitoring systems that serve both learning and accountability. All too often ... the voices of users are lost in the bureaucratic shuffle of data and the interpretation of experts. Guijt skillfully illustrates how, under certain circumstances, monitoring can be an empowering process... A real contribution to organizations that strive to make science a truly collaborative effort.' Nancy MacPherson, IUCN - The World Conservation Union

Tackles one of the biggest challenges in learning: how do we use our experience effectively to improve what we do? Monitoring is neither easy nor well understood... This book does not shy away from the difficulties. - Fred Carden, International Development Research Centre
