This document is a draft of the Evaluation Competency Framework (ECF) used by the South African Government.
It describes the knowledge, skills and abilities for Programme Managers, M&E Advisors and Evaluators who are involved in the evaluation of government programmes and policies. The Framework suggests domains, describes the elements of that domain, and then suggests the level of competence for the programme manager, M&E advisor, and evaluators. It has been sequenced to enable users to immediately identify areas where they need guidance.
