EVALUATION HANDBOOK - 2024 (EU Publications)

The primary audience for this evaluation handbook includes:
  • Evaluation managers in European Union (EU) delegations and at headquarters,
  • Monitoring and evaluation focal points in EU delegations, and 
  • External evaluation teams and contractors
It builds upon the Better Regulation Guidelines (European Commission (EC), 2021a) and the Better Regulation Toolbox (EC, 2023), along with other pertinent EC guidance such as the Results-Oriented Monitoring (ROM) Guidelines, the Evaluation ToR templates and guidance, and various methodological notes issued by the Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) and the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI). Furthermore, the handbook integrates information from external (non-EC) sources, all of which are fully referenced and/or hyperlinked within the document for further reading.

To support field teams and strengthen MEARL practices in these complex environments, I developed a contextualized resource that outlines key challenges and practical mitigation strategies for rapid needs assessments in conflict-affected emergencies. While grounded in the Myanmar context, I believe the insights are relevant across many hum...
