This site provides a step-by-step guide on how to identify appropriate questions for an evaluation.
"Evaluation questions focus the evaluation work on a limited number of key points, thus allowing better reflection on judgement criteria (also called reasoned assessment), more targeted data collection, more in-depth analysis and a more useful report.
Focusing an evaluation on several key points is particularly useful when the evaluated intervention is multidimensional. In that case, if one wished to study all the dimensions of aid through all evaluation criteria, the work would be extremely costly or else very superficial. Thus, choices have to be made."
