Transparency refers to the evaluation processes and conclusions being able to be scrutinised.
This can include the methods used, the reasoning chain by which conclusions were drawn, the links between data and conclusions and the actual reports. Transparency is one of the norms identified by the United Nations Evaluation Group in their Norms and Standards – in this case it refers to transparency in terms of the accessibility of evaluation reports.
"NORM 7 Transparency
11. Transparency is an essential element of evaluation that establishes trust and builds confidence, enhances stakeholder ownership and increases public accountability. Evaluation products should be publicly accessible."
Examples
The Qualitative Impact Assessment Protocol (QuIP) approach includes transparent and traceable links between analysis and evidence. Findings can be traced back to the coded interview and focus group data.
