Renomo—a Design Tool for Evaluations

Abstract

Evaluators designing evaluation studies that are responsive to the interests of the different stakeholding audiences have to cope with conflicts and constraints from the very beginning of their work. This article describes a tool for a stakeholder-orientated evaluation approach which combines Nominal Group Techniques and the Moderation Method. The tool is presented in a detailed scenario for an evaluation design context. The paper concludes with an assessment of the utility and areas of application of the RENOMO instrument.
