Principles of project evaluation 

The following are some of the principles, which should be kept in view in evaluation.

1. Evaluation is a continuous process (continuity).
2. Evaluation should involve minimum possible costs (inexpensive).
3. Evaluation should be done without prejudice to day to day work (minimum hindrance to day to day work).
4. Evaluation must be done on a co-operative basis in which the entire staff and the board members should participate (total participation).
5. As far as possible, the agency should itself evaluate its program but occasionally outside evaluation machinery should also be made use of (external evaluation).
6. Total overall examination of the agency will reveal strength and weaknesses. (agency / program totality).
7. The result of evaluation should be shared with workers of the agency (sharing).

Project-level evaluation is classified into four types conducted at different stages during the project cycle: ex-ante evaluation, mid-term evaluation, terminal evaluation, and ex-post evaluation.
