[ French ] [ English ]
The advent of the International Development Evaluation Association (IDEAS), a voluntary, charitable membership based organization, is timely. A new development consensus has emerged, focused on sustained poverty reduction driven by economic growth; the removal of social and structural constraints to economic and human development; reforms that are owned by those who must carry them out; and an intent, especially in the public sector, to manage for results and measure for performance. In parallel, citizens in developing and developed countries alike, expect more efficient, more accountable and more transparent government and public sector programs and projects that have measurably greater development effectiveness than hitherto. Thus there is need to renew old and established evaluation mechanisms to help deliver results to ensure accountability and learn from mistakes.
Our Vision
Development evaluation as an intrinsic part of free, equitable sustainable societies.
Our Mission
To advance and extend the practice of development evaluation by refining methods, strengthening capacity and expanding ownership.
In meeting the challenges of development evaluation IDEAS aim to be:
- Global – serving development evaluators everywhere;
- Voluntary – membership, participation and professional contributions are voluntary;
- Inclusive – membership open to all who are interested in development evaluation.
- Democratic – elected leadership.
- Educational – advancing evaluation for the benefit of all through education and training.
- Pluralistic – encouraging multiple theories, methods, and perspectives;
- Responsive – assessing and meeting the needs of development evaluators;
- Participatory – all members encouraged to participate actively.
Our Strategy
To attract committed members world-wide (but particularly from developing countries and transition economies), who will:
· promote development evaluation for results, transparency and accountability in public policy and expenditure;
· give priority to evaluation capacity development (ECD);
· foster the highest intellectual and professional standards in development evaluation;
· refrain from activities that other organisations are better placed to undertake;
· nurture partnerships with like-minded organisations;
· encourage national and regional development evaluation groups.
IDEAS is incorporated, (Company Number ), and is registered in England as charity (Charity Number ).
Its Secretariat is based in South Africa
Our Board Members
The original board of IDEAS was elected in Beijing in September 2002. An annual rotation process results in several new Board members being elected each year.
