This book, written by the founder of empowerment evaluation (EE), a framework specifically designed to promote social justice causes, provides a comprehensive guide on conducting EE from scratch or within an existing evaluation or work plan. David M. Fetterman elucidates how EE empowers program planners and participants to define their mission or purpose, assess their progress, and develop strategies for achieving self-determined goals. The book delves into the details of EE implementation in two large programs, Feeding America and USAID/REACH, and showcases additional EE case examples covering topics such as improving test scores in impoverished and rural schools and bridging the digital divide in communities of color. Additionally, the book offers user-friendly features such as chapters on conducting EE remotely and frequently asked questions, along with enlightening sidebars and glossaries of acronyms and concepts/terms. By leveraging the power of EE, organizations can effectively measure their impact, identify areas for improvement, and drive positive change in society.
