Evaluate - what was achieved?
The final step in the process helps you answer these two questions:
- Did we do what we planned to do?
- Did we achieve what we expected?
There are two kinds of evaluation:
- Process evaluation assesses whether the program or implementation plan was delivered as intended
- Outcome evaluation determines if the program or implementation achieved the anticipated results or if there were any unanticipated outcomes
Both evaluations involve these steps:
- Identify outcomes of interest
- Select indicators to measure these outcomes
- Collect baseline data about outcomes of interest
- Measure outcomes post-intervention to determine effectiveness of the program or implementation plan
- Interpret these results to inform further planning and refine the program or implementation plan
