I would just like to add to Svetlana's important point: "it is important to note that all contexts are not created equal and level of unquestionable preparedness for an evaluation cannot be assumed in any type and size of intervention in any context. In the evolving contexts, some aspects may not be prioritized in time and to meet the needs of everyone involved". I think this is especially the case with stakeholders' interests in an evaluation: what they want to know and what they are concerned about. These are very likely to change over time.
