Through the science and art of evaluative research, programs and projects are studied to determine their effectiveness in achieving their respective goals and objectives. The systematic and rigorous approach to collecting evidence and documentation of the program’s implementation provides the program’s stakeholders with information in making decisions for accountability, improvement, and continuation. The process of evaluation begins with a well-designed logic model and plan. It continues with the involvement of the stakeholders in the execution of the plan using proven methodologies and data collection protocols. The results of these steps are analyzed, interpreted in the context of the program’s environment, and reported to the various stakeholders in an applicable manner.
