The Magenta Book - Guidance for evaluation
HM Treasury UK, April 2011
Available online PDF [141p.]

The book divided into two parts.
•    Part A is designed for policy makers (pdf). It sets out what evaluation is, and what the benefits of good evaluation are. It explains in simple terms the requirements for good evaluation, and some straightforward steps that policy makers can take to make a good evaluation of their intervention more feasible.

•    Part B is more technical, and is aimed at analysts and interested policy makers (pdf). It discusses in more detail the key steps to follow when planning and undertaking an evaluation and how to answer evaluation research questions using different evaluation research designs. It also discusses approaches to the interpretation and assimilation of evaluation evidence.
