The process of conducting program evaluation typically involves several steps: - Planning: Define the purpose, scope, and specific questions to be addressed by the evaluation. Stakeholders should be involved in this phase to ensure their needs and perspectives are considered. - Designing the Evaluation: Decide on the evaluation design, which could be experimental, quasi-experimental, or observational. Select appropriate indicators and data collection methods. - Data Collection: Gather qualitative and quantitative data through surveys, interviews, focus groups, and existing records. - Data Analysis: Analyze the data to determine whether the program is achieving its desired outcomes. Use statistical and thematic analysis methods as appropriate. - Reporting and Dissemination: Prepare a report of the findings and share it with stakeholders. Use clear, non-technical language to ensure it is accessible to all audiences.
