THE WORLD’S LEADING PROJECT EVALUATION RESOURCE
Why Evaluate?



This is one of the most incompletely answered questions when it comes to project evaluations. Most consultants will tell you that the purpose of an evaluation is to assess what has been achieved and find out if the money has been well spent. They will also tell you that the purpose is to suggest changes, whilst also researching beneficiary feedback.  Whilst this is true, it is only a very small part of the reason why an organisation should undertake an evaluation.  The Project Evaluation Company has undertaken 10 years of research into what makes an effective evaluation. Over 90% of the evaluation reports we have reviewed are seriously missing out on important aspects which could make a difference between an evaluation that is effective and one that is not.

The Project Evaluation Company's answer to WHY EVALUATE?

Access more funding through a credible and comprehensive evaluation report. The report must in part be a 'selling document' to demonstrate that a) you have done well and need further funds to continue the great work b) you have not done well and need extra support to get you the resources to do well to fill an identified need.  This is why we will also write 3 FREE funding bids for you with every evaluation we undertake.  

Make your organisation sustainable. An evaluation, if done properly, is an excellent tool to help identify issues and make your organisation become robust and sustainable. This is why with every evaluation we do, we also prepare a FREE Business Plan for your project or organisation.

Most case studies we have looked at concerning project evaluations have been left on the shelf with project managers and management bodies having little know how and guidance as to how the evaluation findings should be implemented. Did you know that actually showing that you have implemented the findings of an evaluation can quadruple your chances of accessing further funding? This is why with every evaluation report we undertake, we will prepare a free report and support you in helping you implement the findings of the report.
