EVALUATION – CAN WE HELP?
•Process evaluation• You obviously want to know how you are doing: what is right and
what is wrong? Something to be improved?
•Outcome / impact evaluation• You obviously want to know if your goals have been achieved• You obviously wish to know if your project has made the desired
effects• And of course you would like to know if your project is sustainable

METHODSExternal evaluator is not a member of the project that he is evaluating, thus:
• He joins the project only for a shorter period of time • He is able to keep objectivity and relative independence during the evaluation process• Therefore he provides a relatively more objective feedback
The main focus of the external evaluation is
• To analyze the attainment of the general and specific objectives of the project
• To analyze the outputs, deliverables of the project
• To analyze the outcomes, impacts of the project
• To analyze the work of the specific work packages

•Interim evaluation report in English (word, pdf)
•Final evaluation report in English (word, pdf)
