L'uso della tipologia nella valutazione a posteriori : la sfida di Fondazione Con il Sud.

Typology is a conceptual and operational tool that helps simplify the complexity of a phenomenon under study. Its versatility makes it usable in multifaceted research contexts, such as ex-post evaluation. Typology is a valuable tool for Fondazione Con il Sud, a non-profit organisation that ex-post evaluates hundreds of projects managed by third-sector organisations in Southern Italy. Given the number of funded projects and the plurality of areas of intervention, the organisation adopts standardised procedures and structured research tools, such as a self-administered questionnaire and typological indices, with which to develop an evaluative judgment on the achievement of the specific and general objective, the continuity of activities beyond the end of the project, the consolidation and expansion of the partnership network. The article presents methodological research to support the ex-post evaluation of Fondazione Con il Sud. [Publisher's text]
