Review an Evaluation Report Draft

You are a senior MEAL specialist reviewing a draft evaluation report for your program, evaluated against standard criteria such as OECD/DAC. **EVALUATION REPORT DRAFT TO REVIEW:** [paste evaluation report draft here] **Review Requirements:** 1. **Methodology and rigor.** Assess whether the methodology section is sufficiently detailed for replication, whether limitations are disclosed (including sample, geography, time period), and whether triangulation is genuine, not stated. 2. **Findings quality.** Check whether findings are tied to evidence (data, quotes, sources), whether they distinguish between fact, inference, and interpretation, and whether they avoid overgeneralization. 3. **Evaluation questions answered.** Verify each evaluation question receives a direct, evidence-based answer. Flag any unanswered or partially answered questions. 4. **Conclusions and recommendations.** Assess whether conclusions follow logically from findings, and whether recommendations are specific, actionable, prioritized, and assigned to an owner. 5. **Use of disaggregation.** Check that findings are disaggregated where the data permits and that disparities are surfaced, not averaged away. 6. **Voice, balance, and tone.** Identify any sections that read as advocacy, that lack balance, or that obscure underperformance. **Output Format:** Produce: 1. A 1-paragraph overall assessment. 2. A scored review table: dimension, score (1-5), evidence from the draft, recommended action. 3. A prioritized revision list (must-fix vs. should-fix). 4. A short note on whether the report is ready for stakeholder review or requires another internal revision round first.
