2. Evaluation Development Training Institutes (DTI) The term DTI is meant to include specialized training institutes as well as units of bi- and multilateral-development agencies and regional development banks that are implementing development training. Other DTIs are university-based or independent private education and training organizations.

4. What Evaluation Capacity Development (ECD) is concerned with strengthening or building M&E systems in borrower countries in order that a situation is attained where M&E is regularly conducted and utilized by the countries themselves.

14. Measurability

15. Measurement Problems The unclear link of cause and effect Lack of appropriate data Difficulty to quantify effects in monetary terms The distortion through temporal effects
