Invitation and Call for Papers to International Workshop
Centre for Social Science Development Research
The Evaluation Department of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Centre for Social Science Development Research at Institute of Food and Resource Economics at the University of Copenhagen are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract (preparatory to a full paper) to an International Workshop, which will focus on methodological and practical considerations when using case studies in evaluations of development. The workshop will be organised in collaboration with the journal Evaluation:the international journal of theory, research and practice.

Abstracts could e.g. focus on: Continue reading “Workshop: Case Studies in Development Evaluation: Validity, Generalisation and Learning”
