Guide to evaluating capacity development results: a collection of guidance notes to help development practitioners and evaluators assess capacity development efforts

This set of guidance notes is designed to support practitioners and evaluators in conducting retrospective evaluations of a capacity development intervention or portfolio to assess and document results. Users will enhance their understanding of the capacity development process, of what works and what does not work in promoting change and to inform future programs. The first set of eleven guidance notes provides instructions on how to map and document a capacity development results chain, giving an overview of the process (notes one to four) and explaining how to assess the achievement of capacity development objectives (notes five to eight) and Intermediate Capacity Outcomes, or ICOs (notes nine to eleven). The six guidance notes in the second section explore and share analytical techniques (qualitative and quantitative) that can help to address information gaps that are likely to emerge in most program assessments. These guidance notes aim to help practitioners and evaluators explore systematically the outcomes of a capacity development activity, project or strategy. They help to highlight lessons learned and identify which approaches were successful and unsuccessful within specific contexts. This information provides a practical orientation for designing more effective results frameworks and monitoring arrangements during the project or strategy design stage.
