Evaluations

We evaluate your programs:
  1. Is the program meeting its objectives
  2. Through the originally intended process
  3. Why or why not?​
​
  • Formative evaluation: Formative evaluation occurs during program development and implementation. It provides information on achieving program goals or improving your program.
  • Process evaluation: Process evaluation is a type of formative evaluation that assesses the type, quantity, and quality of program activities or services.
  • Outcome evaluation: Outcome evaluation can focus on short- and long-term program objectives. Appropriate measures demonstrate changes in health conditions, quality of life, and behaviors.
  • Impact evaluation: Impact evaluation assesses a program's effect on participants. Appropriate measures include changes in awareness, knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and/or skills.
Participatory Approaches

Participatory evaluation is an approach that we like to use because it involves the stakeholders of a program or policy in the evaluation process.
  1. Self assessments
  2. Stakeholder evaluations
  3. Story telling
  4. Participatory social mapping
  5. Photovoice
  6. Trend and change diagramming
  7. Scoring

Participation can occur at any stage of the evaluation process, from the evaluation design to the data collection and analysis to the reporting of the study. A participatory approach can be adopted with any impact evaluation design and gathers both quantitative and qualitative data. We adapt the type and level of stakeholder involvement depending on whether the evaluation is a local level impact evaluation and or a policy level evaluation.  Stakeholders are purposefully engaged in the evaluation - knowing which stakeholders should be involved and how, enhances the effectiveness of a participatory evaluation. 

A participatory evaluation is often distinguished from the conventional evaluation in the following ways:
  • Why the evaluation is being done?
  • How the evaluation is done?
  • Who is doing the evaluating?
  • What is being evaluated?
  • For whom the evaluation is being done?
