Decide on the right evaluation design

Step 1

Get the information you collected from PICO during Stage One before heading to the evaluation design tool. This is a custom tool we’ve created to help you identify the right evaluation designs and methodologies for your initiative. Fill in the form with details about the initiative you want to evaluate and click ‘Submit’ to receive custom suggestions for your evaluation.

Step 2: We also suggest you check out the WHO Monitoring and Evaluation guide that offers an introduction to the different types of evaluation design you can use.

• You’ll find the pros and cons of each design listed on page 80 of the guide.

Step 3: After you’ve read through your evaluation design tool results with our design recommendations, you are now ready to make a decision about which design best fits your evaluation’s needs.

• Check out the outcome measurement tool in the next activity to ensure you are collecting the most relevant measures for your initiative.
