Guidance on Evaluation and Review for DFID Staff

This guidance will take you step by step through the practice of designing, managing,
reporting on and responding to an evaluation.
Good evaluation practice depends on a solid partnership between those commissioning
and managing evaluation studies on behalf of their governments and agencies, and the
consultants carrying out the work and producing the reports. This guidance is geared
towards DFID staff but also attempt to assist all partners in thinking through their roles in
the process.
Whilst Evaluation Department (EvD) is responsible for an annual programme of centrally
mandated evaluations agreed with the Management Board, the main aim of this guidance
material is to improve the quality of decentralised evaluation.
