About
Evaluation plays an essential role in processes of learning and accountability. Evaluations can also be used to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of a project’s intended outcomes. This evaluation will emphasize the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) to generate evidence on their suitability for culturally specific contexts.
More specifically, SDGs 4, 5, 10, 16, and 17 will influence this evaluation practice (what is evaluated, how evaluation is conducted, and how partners evaluate).
Because of the interrelated nature of goals and targets, the evaluation will consider the linkages between goals and targets. The evaluation framework will address a range of different purposes including accountability, project management, results, learning, project improvement, and sustainability.
