Abstract

This paper discusses the implicit prob­lems in assessment processes related to plans and programs that promote citi­zenship and coexistence in multicultural societies. Once identified some charac­teristics about the nature of the phenom­enon under study, we establish three cri­teria to be considered in any theoretical and methodological approach on the subject, namely: a) the procedural and democratic character that should guide the design and implementation of any strategy evaluation that is to be conduct­ed on this topic, b) the moral nature of the object to evaluate since this is essen­tially about social values and behaviours, and c) the main purpose that guides the implementation and evaluation of these programs: civic empowerment by citizens of democratic rights and obligations that guide their participation in public life. According to this we adopted an opera­tional model of participatory and demo­cratic evaluation (MODE) and insist on the role of the evaluator as a person en­gaged in the construction and develop­ment of a critical citizenry that promotes the empowerment of individuals and the development of a more fair and egalitar­ian society.
