Evaluation Triggers

Additional Help for ADS Chapter 201

Overview

As noted in ADS 201: Evaluations should be considered by missions in the CDCS and by all OUs in the early stages of project design to ensure adequate planning and implementation. However, a decision to evaluate may be made at any point during strategy, project and activity implementation, particularly if new information arises indicating that an evaluation is appropriate for accountability or learning purposes. Such new information is referred to as an evaluation “trigger”.
