11. ZIAD MOUSSA - Towards indigenous and human-centered evaluation
ZIAD MOUSSA (Independent Evaluation Expert), who describes himself as an evaluation enthusiast, holds a plea for passionate, indigenous and human-centred evaluation: it is human interaction that defines a good evaluation and in particular if proper use is made of local capacity. The present crisis may provide an opportunity towards a strengthened and more articulate role for local evaluators.
Ziad Moussa is a multi-disciplinary development professional with a proven track record in the fields of local governance (design, execution & evaluation of programmes and projects) with an intellectual and professional passion for evaluation. He is the EvalPartners immediate past co-Chair and the IOCE (International Organization for Cooperation in Evaluation) immediate past President.
In his 22 years long working history in numerous development projects covering the entire Middle East, North Africa, the Mediterranean countries involved in the Euro-Med process, as well as significant parts of the African Continent, Ziad Moussa conducted several large-scale evaluations for IFAD, ILO, the European Union and IDRC, among others, and has been particularly active in promoting the emergence of an “indigenous” M&E culture in MENA.
