Welcome to EvalWeb!
USAID Administrator Andrew Natsios recently launched an Initiative
to Revitalize Evaluations within the Agency. His four-part campaign
aims to improve the way evaluations are done and used, as well as
increase the number of evaluations conducted by missions. A recent
study “Evaluation
of USAID Evaluation Experience,” noted that the number
of evaluations submitted to the Development Experience Clearinghouse
dropped from 529 in 1994 to 79 in 2001. According to tabulations
of Mission FY2005 Annual Reports, the trend has now reversed with

of the initiative will continue to support more and better evaluations.
We count on your support to improve USAID’s design of programs
and policies, by doing a better job of capturing and learning from
