Then may I also ask why the evaluators must contact clients in the phase of evaluation planning? At first, I thought we only need to collect information from the target group.

Greetings. May I ask the definition of stakeholders? I have been told that effective evaluators should identify the stakeholders before formally starting the evaluation.

Hello, I wonder if evaluators must understand the history, the context, or the background of the agency before program evaluation? I mean, don’t the evaluators only need to follow the orders or accept the evaluation invitation from the managers or the stakeholders of the program?
