在什么条件下，对儿童的参与性监测和评价能在个人、机构和更广泛的社会层面上产生积极的结果和转型变化？“Changescape”利用尼泊尔和英国的案例，构建了决定决策者是否利用儿童参与评估的证据来塑造服务和为战略进程提供信息的条件。新出现的模式将环境与儿童参与的过程联系起来，并以案例研究为基础，其中重新审视了三个评估：英国国际发展部资助的“通过评估的权利”研究与行动援助和尼泊尔的一个社区组织；对英国救助儿童会（Save the Children）开展的“说话的力量”（say Power）计划的评估；以及伦敦克罗伊登儿童基金会的评估。讨论强调了变化的条件和沟通与协作机制如何促进或阻碍儿童参与评价的变化。《变化格局》帮助组织了以下方面的调查结果：环境如何影响决策者和社区成员对儿童观点作出反应的方式；儿童的能力、信心和支持者可以影响决策者对儿童证据的反应；沟通和协作机制可以为对话创造更多空间，并增加对变革的承诺。
Under what conditions does participatory monitoring and evaluation with children result in positive outcomes and transformational change on a personal, institutional and broader societal level? Using cases from Nepal and UK, the ‘Changescape’ structures the conditions that determine whether evidence from children participating in evaluation is utilised by decision-makers to shape services and inform strategic processes. The emerging model links context with the process of children’s participation and is grounded in case study research in which three evaluations were revisited: DFID funded ‘Rights through Evaluation’ research with ActionAid and a community-based organisation in Nepal; the evaluation of the Saying Power scheme, run by Save the Children across the UK; and the Croydon Children’s Fund evaluation in London. The discussion highlights how conditions for change and mechanisms of communication and collaboration can facilitate or block change in response to children’s participation in evaluation. The Change-scape helped to structure findings on how: context can affect the way in which policy makers and community members respond to children’s perspectives; capacity, confidence, and champions for children can affect decision-makers responses to children’s evidence; mechanisms of communication and collaboration can create more space for dialogue and increase commitment to change.
