Abstract

Evaluation is increasingly called upon to act in support of the management and accountability process, regardless of the field of activity. Often conducted in a complex and changing environment, it must make allowances for different interests and challenges that might occur at a number of levels. In this context, the analytical framework developed by the author may prove to be an interesting tool to organize planning of the evaluation process and for the interpretation of related results. In addition to a description of the five dimensions of this framework, a number of examples of use will be presented. A critical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the analysis framework, along with its principal contributions to the evaluation processes where it is in use, will be conducted based on comments issued to date by some of its users.
