EvaluationWiki was founded in September of 2006 by the non-profit organization Evaluation Resource Institute (ERI). The mission of EvaluationWiki is to make freely available a compendium of up-to-date information and resources to everyone involved in the science and practice of
evaluation. This compendium will be a continually growing and evolving representation of evaluation knowledge.
Like the very successful and popularWikipedia, EvaluationWiki allows everyone to contribute. Whereas the mission of Wikipedia is to create a compendium of all knowledge, the mission of EvaluationWiki is to create a compendium of knowledge within the domain of evaluation. We have a long way to go before EvaluationWiki will become a valuable resource that people around the world will turn to first for evaluation information and resources. But as the Chinese Proverb says, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." We ask that you take that first step with us by creating or editing the information contained here on EvaluationWiki.
