How to do/commission evaluation

To summarise

Ensure evaluation is integral to the development of an initiative, not planned retrospectively
Budget for your evaluation, taking into account
- who will collect the data?
- Who will analyse and process it?
- How will it be reported?
Ensure your evaluation strategy fits your organisation’s quality framework (think about how you will disseminate your findings)
Involve all relevant stakeholders in the development, assessment and review of the evaluation
Develop a timetable to audit and review the evaluation tools and processes
Develop ways to share best practice
Think about the style of the evaluation report, who you are writing it for and how they will use it
