Profile

Michael Bamberger

I have a Ph.D in Sociology and have been working in international development since 1965. After a decade working with low0-income urban communities in Latin America, I spent 20 years with the World Bank working in the fields of housing and urban development, development evaluation training and gender and development in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle-East.

For the last 20 years I have worked as an independent evaluation consultant, including assignments with 10 UN agencies, development banks, bilateral development agencies, foundations and NGOs.

I organized workshops for 10 years at the Foundation for Advanced Studies in International Development (FASID) in Tokyo and for 13 years with the International Program for Development Evaluation Training (IPDET) in Ottawa. I have also organized development evaluation workshops in more than 30 developing countries.

I have co-authored 6 textbooks on evaluation strategies, mixed-methods and complexity-focussed evaluation, and have published numerous articles in leading evaluation journals. See My Publications page.
