Reviews

'This is an important piece of work on project evaluation. An attractive feature is the balanced treatment of theory and application. The book provides very useful information on efforts of national governments in various countries to increase the quality of project evaluation studies by formulating guidelines for project evaluation. One of the strong points of the book is that it does not only address technical aspects of project evaluation tools, but also the institutional structures within which decisions are taken.' - Piet Rietveld, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam and Tinbergen Institute, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
