Evaluation
Consultancy
External evaluations carried out by ceni
are designed to:
- provide an objective assessment of organisational achievements
- provide evidence of practice and learning
- provide accountability to funders and other stakeholders
- contribute to organisational planning and development
A distinctive approach
- ceni's approach to evaluation emphasises the
importance of evaluation as a tool not only for accountability but
also for developing and improving voluntary/community organisations
and projects. In carrying out consultancy work, ceni
aims to ensure that evaluation, as practised, is appropriate to
the needs and circumstances of the sector and its stakeholders.
It is this commitment to the development of the sector, which distinguishes
ceni from private sector consultancies. Find out
