About this brief:

Utilization-focused evaluation (UFE) is a decision-making framework that allows projects to take ownership of evaluation. UFE is a tool for designing or updating a monitoring, evaluation and learning plan (MEL). “Utilization-Focused Evaluation (UFE) begins with the premise that evaluations should be judged by their utility and actual use” (Patton, 2008, p. 37).
