Scoping your evaluation should start with a solid understanding of who wants to know what (and for what purpose). This interest holder matrix is a fillable template that will help you outline a) who should be involved in your evaluation, b) why they should be involved, and c) how they should be involved. At Eval Academy, we intentionally use the term “interest holder” as “stakeholder” carries colonial connotations historically tied to land claims and practices that excluded or harmed Indigenous Peoples.
