      Hello dear friends and colleagues of Eval Forward!

      As we are in a learning process, I'd like to share a few points from my research to help us understand Evaluability Assessment.

      Assessing evaluability: a crucial step before any evaluation

      Evaluability assessment is a process that aims to determine whether an evaluation of a programme, project or policy is feasible and relevant. In other words, it involves checking whether the conditions are right for conducting a high-quality evaluation and obtaining reliable and useful results.

      Why is this important?

      • Save time and resources: By identifying potential obstacles in advance, you can avoid launching an evaluation that will not produce the expected results.
      • Improve the quality of the evaluation: By clarifying the objectives, research questions and available data, you increase the chances of obtaining solid, relevant results.
      • Enhance the credibility of the evaluation: By demonstrating that the evaluation has been designed in a rigorous manner, the confidence of decision-makers and other stakeholders is strengthened.

       

      The key stages in an evaluability assessment

      1. Defining the objectives of the evaluation: What changes are we trying to measure?
      2. Identification of research questions: What are the questions that the evaluation needs to answer?
      3. Analysis of the context: What is the context in which the programme is being implemented? What external factors could influence the results?
      4. Assessment of available data: What existing data can be used to answer the research questions? Is it sufficient and of good quality?
      5. Identification of constraints and challenges: What are the potential obstacles to carrying out the evaluation (e.g. lack of resources, difficulties in accessing data, etc.)?
      6. Proposed evaluation plan: If the evaluation is deemed feasible, a detailed plan can be drawn up, including the methodology, timetable and resources required.

       

      The benefits of evaluating evaluability

      • Better understanding of the programme: Evaluability assessment provides a better understanding of the programme, its objectives and how it works.
      • Improved programme design: The results of an evaluability assessment can help to improve programme design and make it more effective.
      • Better use of resources: By avoiding unnecessary or poorly designed evaluations, resources can be used more efficiently.

       

      In short, evaluability assessment is an essential tool for guaranteeing the quality and relevance of evaluations. It ensures that the resources invested in evaluation are used optimally and that the results obtained are useful for improving policies and programmes.

      Thank you
