IDEAS Competencies for Development Evaluation

Published by INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT EVALUATION ASSOCIATION 

Competencies for Development Evaluation Evaluators, Managers, and Commissioners

IDEAS Working Group on Evaluation Competencies

"This document represents a first step in the initiative of IDEAS to systematically address the issue of competencies. Some of you have asked us to indicate which competencies are core, and others have asked us similarly to designate levels of competence. Let me say that there will be continuing work on the competencies and on the issue of whether IDEAS will grant a certificate of competence or some type of credential. These are issues that will be taken up in stage 2 of our work on competencies. For now, we hope that the competencies will assist you in the context of your own professional improvement or for reviewing team competence."  (Page 6)
