| Abstract | This article describes an evaluation that was judged to be unsuccessful from the point of view of key program stakeholders. This was due to the fact that the evaluation did not support program advocates who had much to gain from positive evaluation findings. We argue that, although the knowledge needs of stakeholders must be taken into account, the integrity of evaluation practice, consistent with codes of professional behaviour, should guide the conduct of all aspects of what evaluators do. Resume : Cet article decrit une evaluation jugee infructueuse du point de vue des parties prenantes cles du programme. Selon l’auteur, cette situation s’explique par le fait que l’evaluation n’a pas favorise les defenseurs du programme qui avaient beaucoup a gagner de resultats positifs de l’evaluation. Bien que les besoins d’information des parties prenantes doivent etre pris en compte, l’auteur soutient que l’integrite, conformement aux codes de conduite professionnelle, doit guider la conduite de l’evaluateur dans tous les aspects de sa pratique. |
