Institutional evaluation of NGOs
Evaluation of NGOs according to a standards-based evaluation tool that assesses several different areas. This is conducted through a field visit by the Center’s team to the organization. The team uses an institutional evaluation tool and reviews key documents which demonstrate the organization’s achievements and programs. The team also listens to the aspirations, views, problems, and difficulties they face. This visit is essential for determining the main frameworks for developing the organization’s performance and for future communication with it. The institutional evaluation considers four areas of social work: democratic internal governance, development activities, projects and programs implemented by the NGOs, and general & financial management. The entity’s performance is measured by a benchmarking system which is scored out of 1000 points. This system is invested in comparing organizations and evaluating development projects that apply for financial grants and any other programs requesting institutional support.
