The Easy Outcomes approach has been designed by Dr. Paul Duignan, an evaluation, outcomes and strategy expert. From his experience in dealing with many different sectors and settings he has developed this easy, but comprehensive, approach. It provides a standardized way of developing an evaluation and outcomes framework for any program, organization or sector. The 10 Easy Outcomes steps are described in detail.

Methodological tools for evaluation, developed by the co-operation office of the European Union (English language).

This Guide has been written to help project managers and M&E staff improve the quality of M&E in IFAD-supported projects. You can find an English, French, Spanish and Arabic version.
The Guide focuses on how M&E can support project management and engage project stakeholders in understanding project progress, learning from achievements and problems, and agreeing on how to improve both strategy and operations.

The International Fund for Agricultural Development Link (IFAD) was established in 1977 to finance agricultural development projects which focus on food production in the developing countries. IFAD's main objective is to eradicate rural poverty by empowering poor rural women and men in these countries to achieve higher incomes and improved food security.
IFAD created an Evaluation Office Link (EO) responsible for evaluating its projects and programs. The EO is to assess what works and what doesn't and to determine how successful the policies and strategies are in tackling poverty alleviation in rural areas.
A Methodological Framework for Project Evaluation (MFE) was introduced in 2002 which consists of a set of criteria to be applied to all project evaluations. There are three main evaluation criteria, each divided into a number of elements, that provide the basis on which project achievements and impacts are to be assessed: performance of the project, impact on rural poverty and performance of the partners.
The MFE was updated in 2003 and is available on-line.

MEASURE Evaluation has developed and applied a variety of tools to improve decision-making in the health sector. MEASURE Evaluation has packaged these tools into user friendly formats in order to expand their use and impact. In some cases, these tools have also contributed to international standardization of methodologies and strengthening host-country capacity for decision making. Tool categories include: M&E Systems; Infectious Disease Control and Prevention; Child Health; and Reproductive Health.

This Handbook was developed to provide managers working
with the National Science Foundation (NSF) with a basic guide
for the evaluation of NSF’s educational programs. It is aimed at
people who need to learn more about both what evaluation can do and
how to do an evaluation, rather than those who already have a solid
base of experience in the field. It builds on firmly established
principles, blending technical knowledge and common sense to meet
the special needs of NSF and its stakeholders.
