Wirksamkeit deutscher Berufsbildungszusammenarbeit
Je mehr Schatten in den letzten Jahren auf die staatliche Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (EZ) fiel, umso mehr rückte die Arbeit der Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen ins Licht der Öffentlichkeit. Nicht selten werden sie zu neuen Hoffnungsträgern einer wirkungsvolleren EZ hochstilisiert. Ob dies jedoch tatsächlich zutrifft ist bisher kaum untersucht. In diesem Band wird erstmals die Wirksamkeit staatlicher und nicht-staatlicher EZ anhand eines Fallbeispiels evaluiert. Es wird herausgearbeitet, inwieweit die unterschiedliche Wirksamkeit von Berufsbildungsprojekten in der VR China auf unterschiedliche Förderkonzepte, Strategien, Vorgehensweisen und Handlungsbedingungen der beiden Geberorganisationen GTZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit) und HSS (Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung) zurückgeführt werden können. Von der vergleichenden Betrachtung werden schließlich Empfehlungen für die Entwicklungspolitik im Hinblick auf die eingesetzten Förderstrategien und die unterschiedlichen Arbeitsweisen der beiden Durchführungsorganisationen abgeleitet.
External Democracy Promotion and Diversity Among International Agencies
The book offers new insight into the diversity of democracy promotion. It takes up the puzzle of mixed results for international agencies in external democracy promotion despite the global goal of democracy and the attempt to shape a common policy emphasized in various international agreements. On the background of backlashes and the search for new answers; it analyzes how the UNDP and the EC promoted democracy in Rwanda from 2003 until 2013 with a selective outlook until today. As a result, it outlines how democracy strategies differ. Furthermore, it develops a new concept of variances which can be applied for other international organizations and agencies as well as in other recipient states.

Evaluation in German Development Cooperation
In Germany, development cooperation is the policy field with the longest tradition in evaluation. All major German organisations in development cooperation use the instrument of evaluation - however, to different degrees with regard to qualitative and quantitative aspects. This study on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) analyses methodically analyses the way the different organisations evaluate, how much they know about the impact of their projects and programmes, and if or how their evaluation systems can be integrated a larger whole. Until now, there has been no comparable analysis, neither in other German policy fields nor in development ...
