Implementing Developmental Evaluation - Practical Guides for Funders

USAID's Developmental Evaluation Pilot Activity (DEPA-MERL) project was one of the first attempts to introduce Developmental Evaluation (DE) to USAID. The DEPA-MERL project provided high quality DEs to interested Operating Units while also rigorously collecting and widely disseminating learning about how to conduct DEs in the Agency’s unique context. During the project, these two guides were created and updated at the end of the award to share step-by-step guidance and templates for those interested in, intending to use or implementing DEs. See the guide descriptions below: 

Implementing Developmental Evaluation - A Practical Guide for Funders: This guide includes evidence-based, step-by-step guidance and templates for funders of Developmental Evaluations on how to successfully design and implement a DE.
