The Program Evaluation KnowledgeBase : Element 1 : Activity 3 : Task 4: Identify Required Resources
Guideline: Required resources include people, time and money. Specifically, does the organization have the right people with the needed expertise to conduct the evaluation, if so do they have the time to commit to it, and does the organization have the funds available to cover the costs associated with conducting the evaluation? If the answers are yes-yes-yes then the organization probably has the means to proceed with the planned evaluation. If the one or more of the answers is no, then the organization should search for alternative resources to meet those needs.
Provided through the Evaluation Center at Western Michigan University this checklist is designed to assist evaluators and others think through the many issues that should be considered when developing an evaluation budget. The instrument is divided into several categories of typical cost items for conducting evaluations, and questions or statements are used as prompts for users to consider. In some cases, an item on the checklist may not be applicable for every situation..
