About evaluability assessment
What Works Scotland has identified evaluability assessment as one of its key approaches to improving the use of evaluation and evidence by community planning partnerships.
See our evaluability assessment working paper which sets out the essentials of the evaluability assessment approach, describes how evaluability assessment has been used to date, examples relevant to Scotland and suggestions for how it may be used in future.
