I have come to take part in the debate. The evaluability of a development project is automatically established by the quality of the specific objective and the expected results of the project. Clarity and precision at these two levels ipso faco justify the evaluability of the project. Therefore, everything depends on how the project is set up. As a result, there is no need for a special evaluability assessment. With a specific SMART objective and expected results, all with clear, measurable indicators, the project's evaluability is guaranteed. The rest will depend on the planning and implementation of monitoring and evaluation. From a financial point of view, it is not appropriate to invest further resources in evaluability assessment, as funding monitoring and evaluation has often been a major challenge. Resources should therefore be mobilised for the effective and efficient implementation of project monitoring-evaluation.
