CARE’s Evaluation Policy is designed to support its vision of poverty reduction, social justice, and the fulfillment of rights through fostering institutional accountability, continuous learning, and transparent sharing of evaluations. The policy aims to provide decision-makers at all levels within CARE and its partners with relevant insights and recommendations to improve program design, planning, and implementation.
Aligned with CARE’s Vision 2030, the policy outlines a cohesive approach to evaluating projects and programs to measure impact, ensure accountability, and improve learning. It emphasizes inclusivity, quality, and transparency, ensuring evaluations engage all stakeholders, especially marginalized communities. The policy also promotes evidence-based decision-making to enhance program effectiveness and drive lasting positive change globally. Through core and extended commitments, CARE ensures that its evaluations not only inform current practices but also contribute to broader systems-level transformations.
