Revised OECD DAC evaluation criteria

The document "Better criteria for better evaluation" describes how the OECD DAC Network on Development Evaluation (EvalNet) revisited the definitions and use of the OECD DAC evaluation criteria in 2018-2019. It lays out adapted definitions for relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability, and for one new criterion, coherence and describes how the criteria should be used thoughtfully, and adjusted to the context of the intervention and the intended users’ needs.
