 EVALUATION STANDARDS |
| A set of criteria against which the completeness and quality of evaluation work can be assessed. The standards measure the utility, feasibility and propriety and accuracy of the evaluation. [1]
Evaluation standards must meet the following generally accepted criteria: 1. Utility: seek to ensure that an evaluation will serve the information needs of intended users of the evaluation. 2. 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.
