The Guide is divided into three main sections, consistent with its key purposes:
• A general introduction to evaluation, and more importantly chapters on mind setting (bearing in mind how you can use evaluation to your best advantage) and  focusing (how to set priorities so that evaluation activities are addressing those questions that will provide you with the most useful information).
• Toolbox: how to plan and manage an evaluation, tables to help you selecting among existing tools according to the chosen focus, examples that can be copied or adapted and, where relevant, our comments regarding strong and weak points.
• A section devoted to capacity building and dissemination of results.
