Preferred term

evaluability assessment  

Definition

  • Evaluability assessment was thrust on the evaluation scene in the 1970s and was initially thought to show great promise for improving programs and saving valuable evaluation resources that might have been wasted by evaluating programs that were not ready to be evaluated. After a short burst of interest and activity, the process appears to have lost much of its appeal among evaluators. [Source: Encyclopedia of Evaluation; Evaluability Assessment]
