Program Evaluation
►Why?

Program Evaluation

aims to:

  • Inform you as to the health of a program, both in scope, as well as effectiveness.
  • Provide information regarding implementation and fidelity to program procedures.
  • Provide information about both process and outcome to ensure the program is meeting objectives and the effectiveness of the program.
  • Provide feedback as to whether the program is meeting its desired goals throughout the program. Fine-tuning of activities and strategies are recommended when the evaluation indicates that program targets are not being addressed effectively.
