USAID's evaluation office frequently receives requests from its staff for examples of exemplary evaluation Statements of Work (SOWs) to assist them in developing high-quality SOWs for evaluations of projects and programs. However, while many evaluation SOWs excel in one or two elements, these same SOWs do not necessarily provide the best models for other elements. This document attempts to respond to these requests by providing readers with good practice examples of the various elements of an evaluation SOW. This guide is aligned with USAID's evaluation policy (and the associated Answers to Frequently Asked Questions), USAID's Automated Directives System (ADS) Section 203, and the USAID TIPS - Preparing an Evaluation Statement of Work. To successfully write a high-quality SOW, it is important to be familiar with all three of these documents, as this guide intentionally avoids duplicating the information found within them. An important foundation for this guide is a review of a set of evaluation SOWs that was undertaken in 2010 for USAID's evaluation office. In any cases where none of the SOWs that were initially reviewed offered a good model for constructing a particular section of an evaluation SOW, the authors adapted these from other USAID project and program documents. References for all the sources drawn upon in compiling this guide are listed at the end of the document, and, where available, links to these are provided.
