DEVELOPMENTAL EVALUATION:WHERE EVALUATION MEETS PROGRAM DESIGN

EXPERIENCES FROM THE DEVELOPMENTAL EVALUTION PILOT ACTIVITY, MONITORING, EVALUATION, RESEARCH, AND LEARNING INNOVATIONS (DEPA-MERL) PROGRAM

• Are processes/implementation/objectives expected to shift?

• Is program operating in a complex environment? Or is programming itself complex?

• Is there sufficient buy-in for the DE from the IP and USAID, including an allocation of funding for this?

• Does/can the contracting mechanism allow for flexibility?

• Does the timing of the program lend itself to the start of a DE?
