Evaluability Before Evaluation

This guide is written for evaluators, evaluation managers, and M&E advisers who need to decide whether — and how — to evaluate a climate or environmental programme. It assumes you are not starting from scratch: you have a programme file, a broad mandate, and a decision to make about evaluation scope and design. What it gives you: a ten-step method for diagnosing what a programme can credibly be evaluated for, a set of questions and warning signs for each step, a graded evaluability scoring tool, and explicit guidance on what to do with the findings.
