Glossary of key terms in evaluation (pdf 157kb)

This glossary of key terms in evaluation and results-based management aims to clarify concepts and to reduce the terminological confusion frequently encountered in these areas.

Evaluation is a field where development partners - often with widely differing linguistic backgrounds - work together and need to use a common vocabulary.

This glossary is the result of a collaborative effort between numerous donors and multilateral organisations, providing practitioners with a common understanding of evaluation terminology. It also provides a valuable reference guide in evaluation training and in practical development work.
