Monitoring and Evaluation of Practice and Methods in Applied Social Research is a comprehensive guide delving into the core concepts, tools, methods, and approaches of monitoring and evaluation (M&E).

This book reveals the roots of M&E, illustrating its evolution from academia into a burgeoning field of science across various contexts. The challenge practitioners face lies in the inconsistent terminology used for identical concepts among humanitarian organizations, hindering the growth of M&E through shared learning. Embracing an abductive approach, this book seeks to establish M&E as distinct fields within social research. In doing so, it bridges the philosophical gap between novice and expert social researchers and provides a consolidated resource based on real-world experiences.

Written by an expert with over a decade of hands-on experience in applied social research, this book serves as an invaluable tool, offering insights into the diverse landscape of M&E, enabling students and practitioners to navigate various contexts with ease. Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), United Nations (UN) bodies, and organizations involved in M&E will also find this book instrumental, creating a bridge of standardized concepts, nomenclature, and approaches.

Reviews for Monitoring and Evaluation of Practice and Methods in Applied Social Research

""Monitoring and evaluation are common practices used in different development projects and by researchers to check the standard work of the project and give a smooth path for another research. But this work indeed needs a clear research vision for researchers and students. This book is appropriate learning for readers. The author’s endeavor is a milestone for the development sector as well as the academia."" -- Prof. Dr. Aijaz A. Wassan, Sociology, University of Sindh, Jamshoro, Pakistan
