The Evaluation module (EVAL) is an IT application to be used by DG INTPA, EU Delegations (EUD), evaluation contractors and stakeholders as a central repository and information management tool for Project/Programme, Country Sector Level, Budget Support and Thematic evaluations and to support the management of evaluation processes and documents. The use of the module is also open to DG NEAR and FPI. Following Management approval, the module has been launched on 11 May 2016.
The Evaluation module responds to one of the Recommendations of the Court of Auditors' Special report on ROM and Evaluations.
Enhanced information and knowledge management:
Easier workflow management: the module provides a harmonised / systematic frame for EUDs and EC HQ to manage evaluations. Evaluation Managers are assisted by e-mail notifications at each step of the process. In addition, the module offers easier and safer access to CRIS documentation for external users
Improved methodological guidance: the module supports the efforts to raise the quality of project and programme evaluations by integrating methodological guidance, including links to up-to-date templates
The workflow is managed in the EVAL module by the following users:
The Evaluation Manager retrieves information about the evaluation contract from CRIS and adds details of the external stakeholders involved in the evaluation.
The Evaluation Contractor downloads project and programme documents from the CRIS library in the EVAL module and uploads the Contractor's deliverables to the module (Inception/Desk/Field/Synthesis reports) - first draft.
The Evaluation Manager collects comments from the reference group and sends back the first version of the draft final report with comments for revision; (s)he also prepares the first version of the Quality Assessment Grid (QAG) assessing the quality of the draft final report and shares it with the Contractor by e-mail.
The Evaluation Manager approves the final report and the executive summary; (s)he completes the Quality Assessment Grid and shares it with the Contractor by e-mail.
The Evaluation Manager elaborates a follow-up plan based on the recommendations of the final report, and, if appropriate, plans for a follow-up after one year.
The EVAL module is accessible in Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome through the following link: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/europeaid/eval/
