  GLSS I, II, III and IV.
• Rapid appraisal methods
• Key informant interviews

Types of Evaluation

• There are several types of evaluation.
• The classification is based on
• purpose of the evaluation,
• methodology,
• timing,
• who is involved in the evaluation
• position of the evaluators.
• Based on purpose (Trochim, 2002)
• formative
• summative

12

• Formative evaluation is a method of judging the
  worth of a programme or project while the
  programme or project activities are forming or
  happening.
• Formative evaluation focuses on the process
  (Bhola 1990)

• quality of its implementation,
• the assessment of the organisational context,
• Human resource,

• Summative evaluation is a method of judging the
  worth of a programme at the end of the program
  activities.
• The focus is on the outcome (Bhola 1990).

16

• types of summative evaluation
• outcome evaluations,
• impact evaluation,
• cost-effectiveness analysis
• cost-benefit analysis,
• secondary analysis
• meta-analysis

17

• In respect of timing, evaluation can also be
  classified
• ex ante
• operational or ongoing evaluation
• ex poste evaluation of completed project

18

• By methodology employed
• Quantitative
• Qualitative

19

• Based on the position of the evaluators
• external evaluators
• internal evaluators

What to Evaluate
