Performance Objectives

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Explain program evaluation and its rationale to colleagues and program stakeholders.
• Navigate the evaluation process, its challenges and opportunities.
• Apply current evaluation frameworks that assess program effectiveness and impact. A comparative analysis of evaluation methodologies, such as EvaluLEAD and logic frameworks, allows participants to select evaluation approaches best suited to achieving the quantitative and qualitative needs of their programs.
• Identify and apply appropriate goals, performance objectives and indicators for monitoring and evaluating the outcomes and results of SRH programs.
• Utilize qualitative tools and methods for gathering and analyzing program information and data, such as observation, in-depth interviews, focus groups, and case stories. Field practice exercises provide opportunities for participants to develop their competencies in using evaluation tools and methods.
• Design and produce an evaluation plan for a SRH project or program. Participants are expected to bring an example of an existing or planned program or project to use in developing an evaluation plan.
• Report to program stakeholders and funders on the activities, results and impact of SRH programs.
