This insightful Handbook delves into public policy evaluation in the Global South. Drawing on in-depth case studies, it analyzes the complex interplay of historical, political, economic, and social factors that shape evaluation practices in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

Expert authors explore how colonial legacies, institutional frameworks, and international influences have molded public policy evaluation across diverse contexts. Chapters critically assess current challenges facing evaluators, including capacity constraints, political interference, and the tension between global standards and local realities. Integrating both political and technocratic perspectives, they consider emerging practices in the field, proposing innovative strategies for developing more effective and culturally responsive approaches to evaluation. Timely and perceptive, the Handbook ultimately emphasizes the need for more inclusive global discussions surrounding public policy evaluation.

This Handbook is an important resource for students and academics in public policy, public administration, political science, international development, and sociology. Policymakers, government officials, and professionals will also benefit from the book’s theoretical and practical insights.
