This online glossary contains vocabulary and terms frequently used in evaluation documents.

This “Glossary of Evaluation and Related Terms” was jointly prepared by a committee consisting of evaluation staff of the Office of the Director of U.S. Foreign Assistance of the State Department and USAID to develop a broad consensus about various terms used in monitoring and evaluation of foreign assistance. The primary intended users are the State Department and USAID staff responsible for initiating and managing evaluations of foreign assistance programs and projects. In preparing this glossary, the committee reviewed a wide range of evaluation glossaries published by bilateral and multilateral donor agencies, professional evaluation associations and educational institutions. The committee particularly relied on the glossaries issued by the Evaluation Network of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee, the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the National Science Foundation, the American Evaluation Association and Western Michigan University.

This glossary was developed by the Research Policy, Evaluation and Reporting Section of the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health to help improve communication about what evaluation is and does. By providing a harmonious and common basis for our discussions with partners, it is hoped that we can reduce the terminological confusions frequently encountered in our work, particularly since the introduction of results-based management and its associated measures.

The DAC Working Party on Aid Evaluation (WP-EV) has developed this glossary of key terms in evaluation and results-based management because of the need to clarify concepts and to reduce the terminological confusion frequently encountered in these areas

This glossary was developed as an annex to the guide on Project Monitoring and Evaluation "Managing for Impact in Rural Development" developed by the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
