Terms of Reference for Evaluations by GRANTEE PARTNERS - Suggested structure

This ToR template (and Guidance Notes) has been developed in order to support the work of EC grantees during preparation of Terms of Reference (thereinafter, ToR) for evaluations of the interventions[1] they manage. Although it has been prepared for evaluations managed by grantees but contracted to external consultants, it can be easily adapted as to be used in case of internal evaluations (i.e. evaluations conducted by staff of the grantees).

Its use by EC grantees is strongly recommended but not compulsory.  

VERSION: April 2021

For more information on the use of this template, please contact the Monitoring and Evaluation unit of DG INTPA D04 at: INTPA-D4@ec.europa.eu

[1] The term “intervention” is used in this text in lieu of “project” or “grant”
