meta-evaluation

Meta-evaluation is the process of assessing the quality and effectiveness of an evaluation itself. It involves reviewing how well an evaluation was conducted, whether its methods were appropriate, and if its conclusions are reliable. Essentially, it's like a "review of a review," ensuring that the original evaluation provides accurate, unbiased, and useful information. This process helps improve future evaluations by identifying strengths and weaknesses in the methodology and reporting, ultimately supporting better decision-making based on the evaluated data.
