This report examines the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) evaluation function and seeks to take a fresh look at the manner in which the Agency carries out this important function; serves its primary audiences, and is moving toward becoming a better "learning organization." A rapid review of previous, selected "evaluations of evaluation" was conducted and thirty interviews were held over the course of a six-week.
