¿Para quién es esta página?

Debe encargar una evaluación. Quizás se trate de una evaluación final exigida por su acuerdo con el donante, o tal vez una revisión de medio término que su equipo decidió llevar a cabo. En cualquier caso, necesita elaborar unos TdR de evaluación que atraigan a evaluadores cualificados y les proporcionen la orientación necesaria para generar hallazgos útiles.

Unos TdR deficientes resultan en una evaluación débil. Si el alcance es vago, el evaluador lo definirá por usted, y es posible que sus decisiones no sean de su agrado. Si las preguntas de evaluación carecen de enfoque, recibirá un informe de 60 páginas que no aborda nada accionable. Esta guía le acompaña por cada sección de los TdR, indicándole exactamente qué incluir.
