• What is the project’s theory of change? i.e. how and why does a project lead to changes in desired (and/or secondary) outcomes?
  
• How does the project’s design and implementation reflect that theory?
  
• Which intermediate outcomes are produced during the project?
  
• Which project components cause intermediate or final changes in outcome?
  
• Which individuals (or communities) are likely to respond best and why?
  
• Are there any possible negative outcomes? why do these occur? How can these risks be minimised or avoided?

• How was the project implemented?
  
• Which aspects were feasible and which aspects were problematic?
  
• How did project stakeholders experience it?
  
• Which components were effective? Which were not?
  
• How did the project produce outcomes and for whom? I.e. were theories of change shown to be correct or do these theories require adjustment?
  

Feasibility

• Would it be possible to scale the project up and deliver on a much larger scale?
  
• Is it possible to replicate the project?
  
• Has the project gained enough stakeholder support to sustain or expand it?
  
• Are impacts long-lasting?
  

• Did the project meet the overall needs?
  
• Was any change significant and was it attributable to the project?
  
• How valuable are the outcomes to the organisation, other stakeholders, and participants?
  

Economic

• Was the project cost effective? i.e. do outcome gains equal or exceed investments
  
• Was there another alternative that may have produced the same or better outcomes while using fewer resources?
  

• What lessons have been learned? How can future projects build on this project? Which questions require further research?
