| This is similar to appraisal. Its main purpose is to ensure that lessons are widely learned, communicated, and applied when appraising future proposals for activities. Evaluation applies to both grant programmes and to individual projects. Where appropriate interim evaluation can be done while the project is in progress. Final evaluation takes place after the programme or project and looks at what actually happened. A programme will normally be evaluated by the funder alone but a project will often be evaluated by the funder as well as the grant recipient. |
