Preparing for the evaluation
5.1 Highlights
Highlights
- Coherence is key: The evaluation plan needs to be logical and coherent. The chosen evaluation question will shape the evaluation design, which will, in turn, influence the choice of methods.
- Alignment with the context: Evaluation use is largely determined by the context. The topic, the evaluation context, and key actors must be identified and understood before drafting the evaluation plan. Approaches should fit the characteristics of the context.
- Co-design: Community-based evaluations, particularly those involving Indigenous peoples and communities, should be co-designed from the outset.
- Simplicity is key too: The evaluation project should be designed to be as simple and concise as possible.
