CIDA evaluation managers are required to prepare terms of reference (TORs) once management makes the decision to proceed with an evaluation. TORs offer the first substantive overview of the evaluation, articulating management’s initial requirements and expectations for the evaluation. They guide the process until the evaluation workplan takes over as the primary control document. MODEL TOR offers a quick and easy way to prepare your TORs. Sample text is set out by essential reporting element, allowing practitioners to work from a standard that meets the Agency’s essential requirements. All you have to do is make the edits as necessary to describe your evaluation.
