CASE STUDY,

EQUITY AND

EVALUATION

Confronting realities

Rawls’ principle of Justice

John Rawls on Equity:

“All social primary goods - liberty and

opportunity, income and wealth, and the

bases of self-respect - are to be distributed

equally unless an unequal distribution of any

or all of these goods is to the advantage of

the least favored. “

Evaluation and justice

• All methodologies embody a theory of justice and

equity (House)

• Information is a ‘primary good’ subject to rights and

equity (Rawls)

• All citizens are defined as ‘rights-holders’ in terms of

the distribution of information; Evaluation is defined

exclusively in terms of ‘duty-bearing’

• In an ideal world, the evaluator is responsible for the

distribution list for evaluation reports
