EVALUATION OF CIP EQUAL TRANSNATIONAL CO-OPERATION PRINCIPLE
Step 5
Questions related to thematic area 1 – processes related to changes in the project, action of
the management authority, unresolved issues and problems, timeline context etc.
Step 6
Complementary and follow up questions to the whole of the interview
COMMENTARY
The interview should be conducted in a natural manner, going with the flow – we first ask
about expectations, then establish an understanding/consensus that the evaluation is not
focused on the project as a whole, but on one of its segments only – the DP and issues
related thereto.
Implementing partners have the opportunity to structure the theme themselves (issues,
problem areas), nonetheless, they have to be defined clearly enough and the evaluator must
prevent drifting from the theme too far.
Complementary questions have been designed for thematic area 2 (DP content) which will
allow to overcome the “dead-end roads” in the interview.
To conclude the segment of questions dealing with thematic area 2, complementary
questions have been designed and may be varied according to the previous flow/content of
the interview (those that have been answered in the course of the interview will be skipped).
Difficult – structured themes concerning thematic areas 1 and 3 are addressed at the end of
the interview, for they may require higher level of trust and communication ease, it is
however necessary to ensure that this segment of the interview is not conduced under time
pressure.
Note to the draft:
Detailed list of stimulation and complementary questions will be designed once we reach a
consensus as to the content of this draft.
