Program evaluation is an
essential tool for the management of any type of program. Evaluation
can help program managers and staff members understand how their
daily activities are related to specific goals and objectives, and
how these goals and objectives relate to their community as a whole.
In order to help you devise a plan for
evaluating your program, the following resources are provided. These
links will connect you with information that will help you design an
evaluation study to determine if you are achieving the outcomes
specified in your proposal.
