What is evaluation?

Evaluation is a systematic process of assessing or examining something to determine its value, worth, or effectiveness. It involves gathering and analyzing data, information, or evidence to make judgments or conclusions about an object, program, policy, or any other subject of interest. The purpose of evaluation is to understand how well something is meeting its intended goals, objectives, or standards, and to inform decision-making, improvement efforts, or accountability. Evaluation can be conducted through various methods, such as surveys, interviews, observations, or data analysis, and it plays a crucial role in ensuring transparency, accountability, and learning in various fields and sectors, including education, healthcare, business, and government.
