The Evaluation Unit has prepared a series of Evaluation Guidelines to help Centre managers, staff, and partners with their evaluation work. The purpose of the guidelines is to improve the quality and consistency of evaluations in the Centre and enhance evaluation capacity through the promotion and use of high-quality information targeted to specific evaluation tasks and issues. The guidelines reflect Centre policy on evaluation so please ensure that all internal and external evaluators are aware of these guidelines (particularly guidelines 3 & 4 as they outline what is expected in terms of formatting reports and the criteria by which quality is assessed). If you have another topic for a guideline to suggest, please let us know. The guidelines are also available in French.
