Evaluate Projects

Evaluate and Develop Further

EED sees itself as a learning organisation. It aims at transparency and has the results and development objectives of its work examined. Experts regularly evaluate projects supported by EED. When deciding on the composition of the team, care is taken to ensure that women and men, local and European experts work together. In seeking answers to key questions, they address several partners and projects. These so-called cross-sectional evaluations are very important to EED. It can learn from them and use them as a basis for its planning.

EED evaluation concept and its implementation

EED’s new evaluation concept not only contains fundamentals and interesting facts, but also offers a practise-oriented introduction for a successful accomplishment of evaluations. Miscellaneous helpful instructions like the "Recommended Guideline for the preparation of Terms of Reference (ToR) for Evaluations" are part of EED’s new evaluation concept and its implementation, which can be downloaded as pdf below.

Evaluation: Together with Partners

EED has all of its areas of work assessed. Evaluations are an integral part in the International Programmes in particular. EED plans and organises them in close cooperation with its partners.

An evaluation is to answer the following questions:

  • Has the project achieved its goal?
  • How do projects supported by EED contribute to freeing people from poverty, misery and injustice?
  • How do the lives of poor people change due to EED support?
  • What factors are responsible for the success or failure of projects?
EED and its partners use the results to plan new projects. Evaluations help EED to reflect its goals and to further develop project funding.

Depending on the moment and direction, evaluation can be used to

  • Plan a programme or measure better
  • Observe the implementation of a project
  • Ascertain the effectiveness of project funding.
Every year EED has many project partners evaluated

EED usually supports a project for three years. Every year starts the support of around 330 new projects all over the world. In 2005, 61 projects were evaluated. Of these,

  • 26 were located in Asia and Oceania
  • 18 located in Latin America
  • 12 located in Africa
  • 5 located in Southeast Europe and the Caucasus
