Opportunità e sfide della valutazione nella cooperazione internazionale allo sviluppo

The evaluation of cooperation initiatives plays a key role in the project cycle, both to ensure the efficient management of development resources and to foster self-reflective processes among stakeholders, aimed at designing actions tailored to the target groups. This contribution seeks to explore the main issues emerged during a roundtable discussion held on 21 March 2025 at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, which focused on the opportunities and challenges of evaluation in the development cooperation. The event brought together professionals from the sector and reaffirmed the importance of cultivating dialogue and collaboration between academics and practitioners on the field.
