There are so many different options (methods, strategies and processes) in evaluation that it can be hard to work out which ones to choose for an evaluation.
BetterEvaluation organises options into 34 different evaluation tasks, grouped by 7 colour- coded clusters to make it easier for you to choose and use appropriate methods, strategies or processes. It also shows approaches (which combine a package of options) such as Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and Outcome Mapping (OM).
The planning tool can be used to: commission and manage an evaluation; plan an evaluation; check the quality of an ongoing evaluation; embed participation thoughtfully in evaluation; develop evaluation capacity.
