The general paucity of evaluation of development initiatives,
particularly in the African context, demands that the role of
evaluation in the development process is promoted. In essence,
this follows when a sound understanding of development issues and
the dynamics of evaluation have been acquired. After setting out
the general parameters of development and evaluation and giving
a brief description of the wider church's involvement in
development, three church-related development projects are
evaluated. A Rapid Rural Appraisal of the development proposals
for the farms, Springvale and Modderspruit, belonging to the
Anglican Diocese of Natal, highlights issues inhibiting the
intended development process. A summative evaluation of basic
human needs illustrates the impact that Africa Cooperative Action
Trust (ACAT) has had on the Emzumbe district and recommends
necessary extensions to its present programme. These three
evaluations serve to accentuate the role evaluation ought to have
in the development process. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Administration)
