Meta-Evaluation 2017

While the evaluation process is viewed as being highly inclusive, ethically responsible and contributing to learning, we have still some shortfalls when it comes to the quality of evolution reports.

Welthungerhilfe has conducted yearly meta-evaluations of its evaluation reports since 2015. This meta-evaluation/analysis aims to:

• provide structured external feedback on the quality of evaluation reports as well as on the quality of the evaluation processes using the standards: Accuracy, Feasibility, Fairness and Utility
• contribute to improving advisory services and information offered by the Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning and Accountability (MELA) team of the Head Office to the newly established MELA focal points in the Country Offices and other staff managing evaluations
• document reoccurring evaluation findings and recommendations from evaluation reports in order to facilitate organisational learning and strategic decision making.
