PROGRAM EVALUATION
WHY EVALUATION?
Many organizations doing good work may ask themselves: "How do I know I'm doing what I think I'm doing?" Evaluation helps to answer this question. Yet, many community leaders may be uncertain about how to go about creating their own evaluation instruments to answer the questions they care about or may find the idea of evaluation -- research -- intimidating. IC can help by demystifying Program Evaluation -- its terms and vocabulary, concepts, and practices – in an easy to understand way grounded in social justice values.
