Resumen

En general las disciplinas de la comunicación y de la evaluación se desarrollan de forma independiente o al menos secuencial: la comunicación de los hallazgos de la evaluación ó la evaluación de las actividades ó programas de comunicación.  Sin embargo, ambas disciplinas comparten elementos comunes a nivel teórico y práctico. Esta ponencia resume trabajos de investigación-acción en comunicación y evaluaciónpara brindar capacitación a proyectos socios de investigación a nivel global. Se subrayan dos aspectos: la verificación al inicio de la  prontitud ó disponibilidad de los proyectos para recibir capacitación, y las ventajas de los procesos de facilitación regidos por el calendario del socio, no del capacitador.   La integración metodológica aborda la ‘Evaluación Orientada a los Usos’ y la Comunicación de la Investigación. El marco decisional en evaluación y comunicación permite a los gerentes de proyectos u organizaciones, explicitar su teoría de cambio y ajustar su estrategia de intervención.
