Metaevaluations are systematic reviews of evaluations to determine the quality of their processes and findings. The knowledge about evaluation quality that results from metaevaluation of multiple evaluations can be used to inform researchers’ decisions about which studies to include in evaluation syntheses. Metaevaluations of multiple studies are also used to identify strengths and weaknesses in evaluation practice in order to develop evaluation capacity. This article discusses the multipleways in which quality can be defined, the political and cultural contexts of metaevaluation, and issues surrounding use and misuse. A metaevaluation of evaluations of international agricultural research centers illustrates these topics.
