Morphology

ongoing + evaluation

The meaning is directly compositional: 'ongoing' (continuously happening) modifies 'evaluation' (the act of assessing), so a learner who knows both words can infer an evaluation that is continuous or in progress. This is a common, transparent noun phrase pattern across languages and follows straightforward English adjective+noun composition, so it should be immediately understandable to B1 learners.

Etymology

Ongoing evaluation is like a gardener who checks plants every day while they grow. ongoing means continuing and evaluation means checking. Because the checking happens during the work, you can find problems early and 'change the plan' or 'fix problems' as you go.
