成功的非政府组织发展和学术伙伴关系的核心是有效的文化间和多语言交流和翻译做法和程序，包括严格承认“协调人”的作用，他们是当地参与者与学术性非政府组织影响评估研究人员之间的“接口”。在布基纳法索、马里和尼日尔的发展研究项目中，我们研究了我们所说的“控制”，我们表明有必要像在新闻业中一样，批判地询问这种中介作用。确定这一作用并将其纳入研究供资和设计中，可以为挑战不平等现象作出简单而切实的贡献，包括控制视角和增加参与性影响评估和发展做法。
Successful NGO development and academic partnerships have, at their core, effective intercultural and multilingual communication and translation practices and processes, including critical recognition of the role of “fixers”, who act as the “interface” between local participants and academic NGO impact-assessment researchers. Examining what we call the “contrôleuse” in development research projects in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, we show the need, as in journalism, to critically interrogate this intermediary role. Identifying and incorporating the role into research funding and design can be a simple and practical contribution towards challenging inequalities, includingcontrôleuseperspectives and increasing participatory impact-assessment and development practices.
