NSW Government evaluation toolkit

This web-based toolkit has been developed to help program managers in New South Wales (Australia) government agencies manage evaluations (including those undertaken by internal or external evaluators, or by a combination of both). 

The toolkit has been developed by the BetterEvaluation team (working in conjunction with ARTD Consultants, Sydney) to provide a simple front-end for program managers that links to the wider range of resources on the BetterEvaluation site.

It provides seven colour coded key steps and subsequent sub-steps for planning and implementing a program evaluation project.
