Call for Proposals: American Evaluation Association 2010 Conference
November 10-134, 2010, San Antonio, Texas

The American Evaluation Association invites evaluators from around the world to attend its annual conference to be held Wednesday, November 10, through Saturday, November 13, 2010 in San Antonio, Texas. We'll be convening at the lovely Grand Hyatt San Antonio, right in the heart of the vibrant city and adjacent to the Riverwalk's nightlife, restaurants, and strolling grounds. Discounted hotel reservations will be available in March.

AEA's annual meeting is expected to bring together approximately 2500 evaluation practitioners, academics, and students, and represents a unique opportunity to gather with professional colleagues in a collaborative, thought-provoking, and fun atmosphere.
The conference is broken down into 44 Topical Strands that examine the field from the vantage point of a particular methodology, context, or issue of interest to the field as well as the Presidential Strand highlighting this year's Presidential Theme of Evaluation Quality. Presentations may explore the conference theme or any aspect of the full breadth and depth of evaluation theory and practice.

Proposals are due by midnight in the Eastern time zone, on Friday, March 19, 2010.

Independent Evaluation at the Asian Development Bankl
Updated: Wednesday, August 29, 2007   4:13 PM
Operations evaluation has changed from the beginning of evaluation activities in the
Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 1978. Initially, the focus of evaluation was on
assessing whether implementation was consistent with the intentions reflected in
the appraisal of a project, and the extent to which the project achieved the expected
economic and social benefits. Operations evaluation now shapes decision making
throughout the project cycle and in ADB as a whole. Independent Evaluation at the
Asian Development Bank, published in 2007, offers more than an account of the
early steps of operations evaluation. It describes recent accomplishments and
looks to the future.
