1. EVALUATION AND
PLAN UPDATE

2. • Determines whether program
activities have been
implemented as intended
IMPLEMENTATION
EVALUATION

3. TYPES OF
EVALUATION
• PROCESS EVALUATION
Used to measure the
activities of the
program, program
quality and who it is
reaching

4. PROCESS EVALUATION
 Has the project reached the target group?
 Are all project activities reaching all parts of
the target group?
 Are participants and other key stakeholders
satisfied with all aspects of the project?
This help answer questions
about your program such as:

5. This help answer questions
about your program such as:
 Are all activities being implemented
as intended? If not, why?
 What if any changes have been
made to intended activities?
 Are all materials, information and
presentations suitable for the target
audience?

6. IMPACT EVALUATION
Used to measure the
effectiveness immediate after
the completion of the
program up to six (6)
months and is aligned with
the program objectives
Measure how well the
program objectives (and
sub-objectives) have been
achieved

7. IMPACT EVALUATION
This evaluation will help
answer questions such as:
 How well the project
achieved its objectives?
 How well have the desired
short term changes been
achieved?

8. OUTCOME EVALUATION
Concerned with the long
term effects of the program
and is generally used to
measure the program goal
Measures how well the
program goal has been
achieved
Measures changes at least
six (6) months after the
implementation of the
program (longer term)

9. OUTCOME
EVALUATION
Answers the questions such
as:
 Has the overall program goal
been achieved?
 What factors outside the
program have contributed or
hindered the desired change?
 What unintended change has
occurred as a result of the
program?

10. SUMMATIVE EVALUATION
This considers the entire program
cycle and assist in decisions such as:
 Do you continue the program?
 Do you continue it in its
entirely?
 Is it possible to implement the
program in other settings?

11. SUMMATIVE EVALUATION
This considers the entire program
cycle and assist in decisions such as:
 What elements could have helped
or hindered the program?
 What recommendation have
evolved out of the program?
 How sustainable is the program?

12. KEY REASONS:
Provides a means to find

Allows you to quantify the

so that you can track how

14. KEY REASONS:
Allows you to compare the
impact of different projects
and make result-base
Allows you to develop a
better understanding of
the process of change, and
finding out what works and
what doesn’t

15. KEY REASONS:
Allows you to gather
the knowledge to learn
and improve future
project design and
implementation
