As defined in ADS 203.3.6, evaluations provide a systematic way to gain insight and reach conclusions about the effectiveness of specific activities, the validity of a development hypothesis, the utility of performance monitoring efforts, factors in the development context that may affect the achievement of results, and the types of actions that need to be taken to improve performance.
General Recommendations
- Complete an independent technical evaluation of the program to assess its progress and to evaluate the potential for further activities.
