Evaluation Procedures
Evaluation procedures are systematic processes used to assess the
effectiveness, performance, and impact of a program, project, or policy.
These procedures involve collecting relevant data, analyzing it, and
interpreting the results to determine whether objectives are being met
and to identify areas for improvement. By providing evidence-based
insights, evaluation procedures help inform decision-making, ensure
accountability, and guide the optimization of resources and strategies.
Whether in education, healthcare, business, or other sectors, evaluations
are crucial for continuous improvement and achieving desired outcomes.
Procedure 1:
1.Planning or defining the scope of evaluation
To evaluate the program effectively, start by meeting with the key client
to understand their expectations and goals. Then, identify and meet with
other important stakeholders involved in the program to gather their
perspectives. Conduct research on the program’s context and gather
relevant background information to better understand the environment in
which it operates. Review prior evaluations to identify any problems,
designs, or data collection methods that were used, which could inform
the current evaluation process. Finally, review the program’s theory of
change, and if necessary, refine or develop a new one to ensure it
accurately reflects the program’s objectives and intended outcomes.
2.Designing the evaluation
Begin by determining the type of assessment that aligns with the
evaluation’s objectives. Next, develop a list of specialized evaluation
questions and corresponding sub-questions that address key aspects of
the program. For each question or sub-question, select appropriate
measurements that will provide relevant data. Identify the data sources
for each question or sub-question to ensure accurate and reliable
information. Choose a design that is suitable for answering each
question or sub-question, taking into account the nature of the data and
the evaluation’s goals. Develop a data collection strategy that outlines
the techniques, instruments, and sampling methods to be used. Create a
detailed plan for analyzing the collected data, ensuring that it aligns with
the evaluation questions. Finally, establish the resource and timing
constraints, ensuring that the evaluation can be conducted efficiently
within available limits.

3.Conducting the evaluation


Conducting the evaluation involves several key steps. First, the
evaluation design is explained to the customer and stakeholders to
ensure alignment on objectives, methods, and expected outcomes. A
detailed work plan is then created, which includes steps for examining
the approach, training data collectors, and drafting protocols. Once the
plan is in place, data collection begins, followed by cleaning and
preparing the data for analysis, including creating table shells if needed.
The data is then examined for trends and patterns, and visuals such as
charts and graphs are developed to clearly present the findings. Finally, a
report is written to summarize the results, insights, conclusions, and
recommendations based on the data analysis.
4.Reporting the Evaluation’s Findings
Reporting the evaluation’s findings begins with determining the most
important facts and themes, focusing on what works, what doesn’t, and
what needs improvement. After identifying these key points, the
evaluation report should be completed. The client must then be informed
of the findings and the relevant facts. Following this, program officials
and key stakeholders should be briefed on the findings and assertions of
fact, with any necessary adjustments made based on their input. It is
essential to allow program officials to review the draft report and
provide feedback. The report should also include clear and detailed
suggestions, specifying who should take action and by when. Lastly,
ensure that the recommendations are backed by evidence to maintain
credibility and effectiveness.
5.Reporting and Following Up on Evaluation Results
The process of reporting and following up on evaluation results involves
determining who will receive which type of research output, such as a
briefing, a summary report, the full report, or an in-depth workshop, and
executing this distribution strategy. It is important to identify the key
lessons learned from the evaluation and decide on the most effective
way to communicate these lessons. Additionally, plans must be made for
the implementation of official recommendations, ensuring clear steps for
action. All electronic files related to the evaluation should be stored in
evaluative knowledge repositories in a read-only format to ensure
preservation and accessibility. Finally, consider expanding the reach of
the evaluation results through professional associations and journals to
share insights with a broader audience.
Procedure 2:
In general, evaluation processes go through four distinct phases:
planning, implementation, completion, and reporting.
While these mirror common program development steps, it is important
to remember that your evaluation efforts may not always be linear,
depending on where you are in your program or intervention.
Planning
The most important considerations during the planning phase of your
project evaluation are prioritizing short and long-term goals, identifying
your target audience(s), determining methods for collecting data, and
assessing the feasibility of each for your target audience(s).
Implementation
This is the carrying out of your evaluation plan. Although it may vary
considerably from project to project, you will likely concentrate on
formative and process evaluation strategies at this point in your efforts.
Completion
Upon completion of your program, or the intermediate steps along the
way, your evaluation efforts will be designed to examine long term
outcomes and impacts, and summarize the overall performance of your
program.
Reporting and Communication
In order to tell your story effectively, it’s critical for you to consider
what you want to communicate about the results or processes of your
project, what audiences are most important to communicate with, and
what are the most appropriate methods for disseminating your
information.
