Abstract
Contribution to a special issue on ‘Developing Evaluation Practice in the Information Sector’. Describes a complex collaborative project to produce ‘smart tools’ for the evaluation of information services, projects and programmes. The main target group for the tools is information managers in resource-poor settings who wish to evaluate their information products and services themselves. The toolkit will focus on performance evaluation and not on impact assessment. The focus, format and guidelines for the tools are reviewed. The tools are divided into the following modules: Introductory module; Preparatory work module; Process tool module; Data collection and analysis module; Activities module Case studies. Editing and consolidation of the toolkit will take place in 2003, with publication planned for the beginning of 2004.
