We are so excited to announce that the 5th Edition of Utilization-Focused Evaluation will be available from Sage in November 2021. This intergenerational effort offers Michael's distinctive opinions based on more than forty years of experience, coupled with the perspectives and contributions Charmagne as co-author. We begin by describing the essence of utilization-focused evaluation, and then outline 10 operating principles. The book concludes with chapters focused on how evaluation can be used to promote a more thoughtful, equitable, and sustainable world. As always, we have peppered the book with examples, figures, and cartoons to capture of those brand new to evaluation and those who have been at it for decades. At its core, we hope to have provided a resource on how to design and conduct evaluations that provide useful findings, and which contribute to a more equitable society.

We invite you to join us at our virtual book launch celebration on November 17th. Click here for more information and to register.
