Abstract
Based on experiences from two evaluation projects, the two partners in the following dialogue discuss the meaning of 'resistance' to evaluation, or more specifically, resistance to evaluation touching upon values that are central in some communities. Step by step, the dialogue identifies a tension between evaluation as a modernist undertaking and the traditional values of these communities. Through the dialogue about this tension, the 'rough ground' in evaluation is revealed, then the implications for evaluation practice are discussed. Copyrights
