More Evaluation Checklists

Last week I put a reference to the UFE Check-list on my blog, and today I received a very useful link with all kinds of other evaluation check-lists on the AfrEA listserv . Try it out at:

It has Check-lists for

*Evaluation Management

*Evaluation Models

*Evaluation Values & Criteria

* Check-lists are useful for practitioners because it helps you to develop and test your methodology with view of improving it for the future.
* They are useful for those who commission evaluations because it reminds you what should be taken into account at all stages of the evaluation process.
* I think, however, that check-lists like these can be particularly powerful if they become institutionalised in practice - If an organisation requires the check-list to be considered as part of a day-to-day business process.
