Develop initial description
It is helpful to develop an initial description of the project, program or policy as part of beginning an evaluation.
Checking this with different stakeholders can be a helpful way of beginning to identify where there are disagreements or gaps in what is known about it.
An overview of what’s being evaluated can include information on:
- The rationale: the issue being addressed, what is being done, who is intended to benefit
- The scale of the intervention, budget and resources allocated and stage of implementation
- The roles of partner organizations and other stakeholders involved in implementation
- The implications of contextual factors - geographic, social, political, economic and institutional circumstances can create opportunities or challenges
- Significant changes that have occurred over time - because of changes in contextual factors or lessons learnt
