Useful and pragmatic

This article is a useful and pragmatic approach to evaluating. It gives good tips and stresses that actually doing an evaluation is the most important, not how you do it exactly. Useful guide especially for smaller foundations.

Basic Guide to Program Evaluation

Is what is says it is- a basic guide. Defines evaluation as a continual process to learn how to improve programs, which is helpful.
