The dominance of high-income countries in ‘generalised’ evidence-making is increasingly recognised as a barrier to advancing understandings of social change processes in international development. Building more equitable and collaborative institutionalised relationships with localities is therefore emphasised. This paper details how a dialogical case study of evidence-making in international development was developed through the single-case ethnography of a youth sexual behaviour change and empowerment intervention in Tanzania. It illustrates how dialogical theorising was applied in both data collection and analyses towards advancing understandings of the ethical and dynamic Self–Other interdependencies through which evidence is made and communicated. The analyses highlight the performativity of monitoring and evaluation activities: how networks of relations perform the logic of rigid predictability that underpins the design and funding of international development interventions. The non-dialogical and inauthentic nature of these relations are found to foster distrust, holding the potential to undermine the ‘empowering’ goals of the intervention overall. ‘The international’ in evidence-making is therefore situated as a cultural location that lacks relevance in contexts such as Tanzania where changeability trumps predictability. Fostering equities therefore demands attending to colonialities regarding language use, the authority given to artefacts, and the sociohistorical and accumulative contextualisations of distrust.

国际发展干预中监测和评估的表现性:建立一个以“一般”为基础的证据制作对话案例研究

高收入国家在“广义”证据制定方面的主导地位越来越被认为是促进对国际发展中社会变革过程的理解的障碍。因此,强调与地方建立更加公平和协作的制度化关系。本文详细介绍了如何通过坦桑尼亚青年性行为改变和赋权干预的单一案例民族志发展国际发展中证据制作的对话案例研究。它说明了对话理论如何应用于数据收集和分析,以促进对道德和动态的自我-他者相互依存关系的理解,通过这些相互依存关系,证据的形成和交流。分析突出了监测和评估活动的执行性:关系网络如何执行支持国际发展干预设计和资助的刚性可预测性逻辑。人们发现这些关系的非对话性和不真实性会助长不信任,从而有可能破坏整体干预的“赋权”目标。因此,证据制作中的“国际”被定位为一个文化场所,在坦桑尼亚等可变性胜过可预测性的环境中缺乏相关性。因此,培育公平需要关注语言使用、文物的权威以及不信任的社会历史和累积背景方面的殖民问题。人们发现这些关系的非对话性和不真实性会助长不信任,从而有可能破坏整体干预的“赋权”目标。因此,证据制作中的“国际”被定位为一个文化场所,在坦桑尼亚等可变性胜过可预测性的环境中缺乏相关性。因此,培育公平需要关注语言使用、文物的权威以及不信任的社会历史和累积背景方面的殖民问题。人们发现这些关系的非对话性和不真实性会助长不信任,从而有可能破坏整体干预的“赋权”目标。因此,证据制作中的“国际”被定位为一个文化场所,在坦桑尼亚等可变性胜过可预测性的环境中缺乏相关性。因此,培育公平需要关注语言使用、文物的权威以及不信任的社会历史和累积背景方面的殖民问题。因此,证据制作中的“国际”被定位为一个文化场所,在坦桑尼亚等可变性胜过可预测性的环境中缺乏相关性。因此,培育公平需要关注语言使用、文物的权威以及不信任的社会历史和累积背景方面的殖民问题。因此,证据制作中的“国际”被定位为一个文化场所,在坦桑尼亚等可变性胜过可预测性的环境中缺乏相关性。因此,培育公平需要关注语言使用、文物的权威以及不信任的社会历史和累积背景方面的殖民问题。
