Resumen
Evaluation of development projects always implies some difficulty to measure socioeconomic impacts. However, It is generally accepted that the sustainability of processes is a key for success, and so processes themselves should be the object for the evaluation. In this sense, evaluation can be considered as a tool to promote or to reinforce those processes.
This article summarizes a case study in Lima outskirts carried out by researchers from the Technical University of Madrid and the International Potato Center. Mixing methods has become an approach to program evaluation, and so different evaluation methods and tools have been combined here: key questions, process mapping and empowerment evaluation.
This methodology has been useful to identify ongoing processes and their links with project achievements. This is the base to involve stakeholders in consolidating those processes.
