Efforts will increase to democratize evaluation as part of the movement in many countries for more citizen input. Across the United States, deliberative democracy methods are being used, where local citizens serve with elected officials and others to learn about policy issues and make recommendations. Participatory evaluation is part of that movement. We will continue to democratize evaluation by involving many different stakeholders and educating them on evaluative ways of thinking and purposes.
