How to perform evaluations: Model TOR

CIDA evaluation managers are required to prepare terms
of reference (TORs) once management makes the
decision to proceed with an evaluation.
TORs offer the first substantive overview of the evaluation,
articulating management’s initial requirements and expectations
for the evaluation. They guide the process until the
evaluation workplan takes over as the primary control document.
MODEL TOR offers a quick and easy way to prepare your
TORs. Sample text is set out by essential reporting element,
allowing practitioners to work from a standard that meets the
Agency’s essential requirements. All you have to do is make
the edits as necessary to describe your evaluation.
