Program Evaluation Services

Why is Program Evaluation important?
Program Evaluation Services are important for both program monitoring and accountability. Program Evaluation informs you as to the health of the program, both in scope, as well as effectiveness.

Both process and outcome evaluation are recommended in order to ensure that the information about the coverage of program objectives, the effectiveness of the program, and other program processes, is as complete and accurate as possible.

Feedback as to whether the program is meeting its desired goals is collected and recorded throughout the program. Fine-tuning of activities and strategies are recommended when the evaluation indicates that program targets are not being addressed effectively.
