The ARAMIS Information System for research, development and evaluation projects in Switzerland is intended to provide information to interested parties about research which is financed or carried out by the Federal Government, to improve co-ordination and to increase transparency in this area. It has been implemented in response to a demand of the Swiss Parliament and the Government. This web site, which facilitates search for relevant scientific information, is part of a wider information system set up by the Swiss Administration.

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.

The Office of University Evaluation at Arizona State University is a research and service facility which focuses primarily on assessing and improving the effectiveness of the university's academic programs. We also conduct studies to help support administrative decision making and planning. To help accomplish these goals, the office conducts, coordinates, and manages annual and ad hoc research projects. These projects help assess the degree to which courses, curricula, and academic programs impart knowledge to students. These projects also help inform ASU about the student experience. The results of these studies, or assessments, are used to enhance the intellectual integrity of an ASU education and to improve ASU's effectiveness.
