Risks to be addressed
The workshop began by seeking participants’ views, based on their own professional
experience, of the kinds of risk which standards could effectively address. The risks
that were identified fell into the categories of management, evaluators, stakeholders,
budget, evaluation scope, data collection, and reporting.
Reasons for standards
The group identified rigour, confidence, education and understanding, and conflict
resolution as core needs for a set of standards:
■rigour – would provide standing for evaluation as a profession, specify and
facilitate good evaluation practice, enable expectations to be clearly articulated
and agreed, provide external authority for quality assurance, apply across
disciplinary boundaries.
■confidence – would increase credibility with clients, public confidence in
evaluation, likelihood that findings will be used.
■education and understanding – useful as reference point for understanding what
evaluation means, education of community, education of students, on-the-job
training of new evaluators.
â– conflict resolution.

Workshop on AES
standards development
Kerry Rose is Director, Natural
Heritage Trust Monitoring and
Evaluation, with Environment
Australia.
A workshop was held at the AES annual conference to address a
number of issues including:
â– whether to develop an Australasian set of standards or adopt the
US Joint Committee set;
â– identification of issues specific to Australia and NZ which might
support the need for a specific set of standards;
â– how to progress the discussion of standards within the AES, now
that it has adopted an ethical framework which supports their
adoption; and
â– how the need for standards might interact with other strategic
issues raised at the conference, including capacity building.
The workshop ran for two hours and attracted around 20 participants.
