An Update on Evaluation in the Latin American and Caribbean Region

Abstract

This short paper updates the evaluation scene in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region. Specifically, it covers four aspects of that scene: (1) evidence on the growing number of job opportunities for evaluators in the region, (2) news about national-level evaluation organizations, (3) professional development courses available in 2005, and (4) the internal evaluation system supported by the Brazilian federal government.
