Participatory Self-Evaluations Step by Step
|
________________________________________________________ 1. Planning an Evaluation at the Design Stage Participatory Self-Evaluations are recommended for projects that have started: a) before June 2010, with an overall budget below or equal to US$ 500,000; b) after June 2010, with an overall budget below or equal to US$ 1,000,000. Considering that Participatory Self-Evaluations have to be undertaken in a participatory manner through a stakeholders' responses or workshop, the process needs to be planned for at least 2 to 3 months before the end of the project. Stakeholders should be consulted and informed on their role as early in the process as possible.
