About BetterEvaluationBetterEvaluation is an international collaboration to improve the practice and theory of evaluation by creating and curating information on choosing and using evaluation methods and processes, including managing evaluations and strengthening evaluation capacity.We support people to apply new knowledge to their particular situations, and to share their experiences and further contribute to learning how to do an evaluation better. The BetterEvaluation website is the primary platform for this work.
