How to conduct an Evaluation

Home » Formation » How to conduct an Evaluation

Presentation

An evaluation is an essential tool for analysing the performance of a project and it’s long-term impact. Pre-planned in the project design, it enables the selection of appropriate criteria to make relevant judgements throughout the process and evidence-based decisions for the future.

Evaluation is a research tool to assess the effectiveness of a programme or a process aiming to install a change within an organisation or in society. The quantitative components of the evaluation provide numbers, statistics and trends. The qualitative components deliver narratives and case studies, giving socio-historical meaning to the numbers.
