Abstract
Regardless of the evaluation topic and intended use, the most important general characteristics to consider when selecting an external evaluator are flexibility, the ability to problem solve, and credibility. This guideline provides ideas and suggestions for selecting and managing an evaluation consultant or evaluation team. IDRC staff and management can call on the Evaluation Unit for support in identifying evaluators. Different types of evaluation will require different sets of responsibilities, roles, and skills for the evaluator.
