Project Evaluability Assessment, Mid-Term, and Final Evaluation

Descripción: Project Evaluability Assessment, Mid-Term, and Final Evaluation

This service will examine the project’s implementation process and peacebuilding results, drawing upon the project’s results framework as well as other monitoring data collected on the project outputs and outcomes as well as context. Evaluation questions are based on the OECD DAC evaluation criteria as well as PBF-specific evaluation criteria, which have been adapted to the context.

Evaluator(s) should ensure that evaluation of the peacebuilding results is the main line of inquiry. Peacebuilding projects frequently employ approaches that work through thematic areas that overlap with development or humanitarian goals. An evaluation of peacebuilding projects, however, must include not only reflection on progress within the thematic area but the degree to which such progress may or may not have contributed to addressing a relevant conflict factor.

As indicated in the objectives of the service the process should assess the project’s theory of change (see PBF Theory of Change Guidance Note), and, if shortcomings are found, the theory of change must be reformulated/improved by the evaluator(s). Assumptions behind the project’s theory of change must be clearly articulated and assessed for validity by evaluator(s).
