Hur is an evaluation specialist with over 18 years of experience working in fragile contexts and on complex subjects such as gender, peace and conflict resolution, rule of law, climate change, renewable energy, agriculture, economic empowerment, education, and protection. He is the Founder at Pakistan Evaluation Association and Board Member at the International Evaluation Academy [IEAc]. Currently he works as the Senior Evaluation Advisor for the European Commission, DG INTPA’s Evaluation Support Service based in Brussels, Belgium.
Hur is the Lead Author of “Evaluation in Contexts of Fragility, Conflict and Violence” published in 2021. This book presents an interesting argument that ‘evaluation’ – like development aid itself – can unintentionally exacerbate tensions in ways that can negatively affect people and institutions if care is not taken in designing and approaching it with caution and sensitivity.
