Evaluation

The vision of proMENTE is to assist individuals and organisations to achieve their full potential. In particular we specialise in monitoring and evaluation services. These services are designed to be useful, valid and sustainable. Evaluation is a methodological area that is closely related to, but distinguishable from more traditional social research. Evaluation utilizes many of the same methodologies used in traditional social research, but because evaluation takes place within a political and organizational context, it requires group skills, management ability, political dexterity, sensitivity to multiple stakeholders and other skills that social research in general does not rely on as much. Most importantly, evaluation not only gathers and analyses data on its subject but also makes a judgment on it. (see www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/intreval.htm)
