"The resource provides a guide for the expected costs of various evaluative activities in an Australian context. The main purpose for commissioners of evaluative activity to have a sense of the budget they should set aside for these activities. However, the guide also alerts potential users to the range of possible evaluative activities. 'Scale' in the guide refers to a combination of the following interrelated factors: how many people or other units of analysis are the 'target' of the program; whether the project is made up of a variety of sub-programs/projects that are distinct; the geographic spread of the program; the range of key evaluation questions that need to be answered and the range of data collection methods that this implies; whether the evaluative activities will include any 'hard-to-reach' populations; whether the evaluation will involve particular skill-sets, e.g. culturally sensitive evaluation team members."
