Human Rights Education A Manual for National Human Rights Institutions
KEY POINTS: CHAPTER 8
• Evaluation of human rights education tells how well the related outcomes
have been achieved and why and what could be learned as a result.
• A common set of criteria for evaluating human rights education includes:
– relevance
– appropriateness
– effectiveness
– efficiency
– impact
– sustainability.
Not all of these criteria will be used all the time.
• There are many methods for carrying out an evaluation. It is important that
the evaluation method is appropriate to the context of the activity and the
participants involved.
• Evaluation results should always be reported to those who have participated
in the evaluation. It may also be important to communicate them to a funder
or other stakeholders.
