Abstract
Utilization Focused Evaluation (UFE) facilitates a
learning process in which people in the real world apply
evaluation findings and experiences to their work. The
focus is on intended users. UFE does not prescribe any specific
content, method, or theory. It is a guiding framework, rather
than a methodology. UFE can include a wide variety of evaluation
methods within an overall participatory paradigm. Decision making,
in consultation with those who can benefit from the evaluation, is
an important part of the process. Intended users will more likely
utilize an evaluation in which they have ownership.This Primer is for
practitioner evaluators and project implementers who have heard
of UFE and are keen to test-drive the approach.
