Feasibility: seek to ensure that an evaluation will be carried out in a realistic, prudent, diplomatic, and frugal cost conscious manner. 3. Propriety: seek to ensure that an evaluation is carried out in a legal and ethical manner and that the welfare of all stakeholders is given due attention. 4. Accuracy: seek to ensure that an evaluation will reveal and convey technically adequate information about the features that determine the worth or merit of the programme or project being evaluated.
