A research/evaluation after-action learning review is a process of reflection (via meeting, workshop, or other form of consultation) at the end of a research or evaluation project. Its goal is to reflect not on the program or policy studied, but on the design and implementation of the research/evaluation project itself. Learning from these meetings is […]

Evaluation questions, also called key evaluation questions or KEQs, are the high-level questions an evaluation project is designed to answer. KEQs are not the individual questions you ask during data collection, such as those used in a survey questionnaire, interview, or focus group discussion. Instead, KEQs define what the project team seeks to learn and […]
