� Efficiency - the cost, speed and management efficiency with
which inputs and activities were converted into results, and the
quality of the results achieved
� Effectiveness - an assessment of the contribution made by results
to achievement of the project purpose, and how assumptions have
affected project achievements
� Impact - the effect of the project on its wider environment, and
its contribution to the wider sectoral objectives summarised in the
project’s Overall Objectives
➅ Sustainability - the likelihood of a continuation in the stream of
benefits produced by the project, particularly continuation of the
project’s activities and achievement of results, and with particular
reference to development factors of policy support, economic and
financial factors, socio-cultural aspects, gender, appropriateness
of technology, ecological aspects, and institutional capacity
7.3 Linkage to the Logframe
7.3.1 Costs
The steps involved in an evaluation exercise closely follow the
hierarchical objective structure of the project design. By following
this systematic approach all aspects of the project’s achievements are
evaluated.
Actual input costs compared to plan. This is the basis of variance
analysis. Was there a budget revision? How did the nature and timing
of inputs compare with the plan? Did the partner agency or other
donors fulfil their planned contributions? These data will have been
monitored and reported in progress reports. Such reports are a key
source of data for evaluation.
