2012年，联合王国国际发展部(DFID)资助了一项关于可评估性评估文献的审查，由里克·戴维斯进行。虽然审查侧重于实际指导，但可评估性评估并不是没有问题。可评估性评估涉及额外的一层成本和程序。评价方法的多样性对任何关于可评价性的分类判断都是一个挑战。可评价性评估的范围可能会变得过于广泛。对单个项目提出的可评价性问题可能不会那么容易适用于更大的项目组合。本文的目的是更多地关注可评估性评估的问题方面。这样做并不是为了修订工作文件的广泛结论，这些结论明确鼓励更广泛地使用可评估性评估。
In 2012 the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID) funded a review of the literature on Evaluability Assessments, which was undertaken by Rick Davies. Although the review focused on practical guidance Evaluability Assessments are not unproblematic. Evaluability Assessments involve an additional layer of cost and procedure. The diversity of evaluation approaches is a challenge to any categorical judgement about evaluability. The reach of an evaluability assessment can become over-extended. Evaluability questions asked of individual projects may not be so easily applied to larger portfolios of projects. The purpose of this article is to give more attention to the problematic aspects of Evaluability Assessments. In doing so it does not seek to revise the broad conclusions of the Working Paper, which unambiguously encouraged the wider use of Evaluability Assessments.
