When deciding whether to conduct an evaluation, and when planning for one, it is important to consider cost. The cost of an evaluation is dependent on many factors, including the objectives, design, methods, sample size, geographic scope, and local context for the work. Other factors that affect cost are particular to the process—for example, the front-end work required to plan an evaluation or study is often substantial and should be considered when budgeting.
