Abstract

Using a collaborative, multi-perspective team approach to evaluate the impact of a development studies’ programme is beneficial for learning, accountability, and the evaluation process itself. The local-in-global approach enables to combine culturally responsive localized evaluation with global tools to make findings locally grounded yet comparable across different settings. Accountability is broadened beyond the host country’s taxpayers and the scholarship agency to include stakeholders in the South, creating a multi-loci accountability pattern. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed gaps and inequities in global evaluation relations and this article, aligned with ongoing debates on decolonizing evaluation, provides food for thought for reconceptualizing local-global evaluation relations.
