Writing Terms of Reference for Evaluation: A How-To Guide

Writing Terms of Reference for Evaluation:
A How-To Guide.

The terms of reference (ToR) document defines all aspects of how a consultant or a team will conduct an evaluation. It defines the objectives and the scope of the evaluation, outlines the responsibilities of the consultant or team, and provides a clear description of the resources available to conduct the study. Developing an accurate and well-specified ToR is a critical step in managing a high-quality evaluation. This World Bank publication provides a step-by-step guide to preparing effective TORs for evaluation.
