Abstract: This article explores the possibilities of improving development assistance evaluation theoreti cally and conceptually by exchanging the experience with the evaluation discipline in general. Aid evaluation is analyzed within the overall framework of the foundations of program evalu ation. By placing aid evaluation into the framework of the general evaluation discipline, it is thus demonstrated that aid evaluation can be strengthened as it concerns its conceptual and theoretical structure, and it is found that attaining greater theoretical and conceptual stringency in aid evaluations will contribute toward improved quality and the usefulness of such evaluations in the future.
