Dear Dr. Rick Davies, Dr. Jessica Dart
Greetings from Japan!
I am Hiroshi TANAKA, Participatory Evaluation Facilitator.
I used to be engaged in rural development in Nepal for 10 years.
After that, I completed master course of IDS, university of Sussex.
Then I become an evaluation experts for mainly NGO programs.
Also I am a member of the Japan Evaluation Society（JES）.

When I attended INTRAC evaluation conference last June in Netherlands,
I got to know Most Significant Change is very interesting and useful .
But this method is not yet popular in my country.
Now I have a plan to following English guide into Japanese language.
with a help of Dr. MINAMOTO Yuriko, a professor of Meiji University,
one of the leading universities in Japan. She is a board member of JES too.

”The 'Most Significant Change' (MSC) Technique: A Guide to Its Use (2005)"
I would be very happy if you 'd give me permission of the translation. And your
kind advices will be appreciated for the translation process if needed.
Although I and Dr. Minamoto are interested in MSC, there has been no support
for this work so far . So translation must be done by voluntary work.
I am waiting for your reply soon.
Regards,
Hiroshi Tanaka
