Evaluation & Monitoring

Quality and impact-oriented policies are no longer conceivable without monitoring and evaluation. We support you in this.

Monitoring and evaluation have become the international quality standard for political decisions and interventions (programmes, projects, regulations). Evaluations provide scientifically substantiated information for the planning, implementation and assessment of programmes and projects (evidence based policy-making).

Monitoring and evaluation fulfil different tasks such as

Review of the achievement of objectives and impact analysis
Analysis of processes and conditions of implementation of programmes and projects

Objectives are among others:

to increase the action competence and steering ability of those responsible
to support the legitimacy of their actions
to stimulate quality improvement through learning processes

In our understanding, the participation of all important actors (clients, implementation partners, target groups, etc.) is a prerequisite for transparent and effective learning and evaluation processes.

We are guided by national and international quality standards such as those of the German Society for Evaluation and the DAC criteria.
