Guidelines for Data Collection, Monitoring, and Evaluation Plans for A.I.D. (Agency for International Development)-Assisted Projects

摘要

For many years A.I.D. has sought ways to make evaluation useful to managers. Ideally, evaluations were to be used in project decision-making and program planning. Yet many managers found that evaluations failed to provide useful, timely, or relevant information for effective management. These guidelines are a useful step toward making evaluation a genuine management tool. They were written to give managers ideas and resource materials to help them design the information systems they need to manage their projects effectively.
