Evaluation

At various times stakeholder, such as policymakers, funding organizations, planners, managers, administrators, researchers, taxpayers, or clientele, must evaluate program effectiveness and success. Depending on the evaluation results, a new program may need to be launched or existing ones may need to be revised in an effort to achieve desirable results. Equastat consultants will work closely with you to determine the best method to evaluate your program and improve future programs.

While not exhaustive, we provide assistance in the following areas:

• Assessing the extent to which there is a need for the intervention or program (Needs Assessment)
• Evaluating the conceptualization and design (Program Theory Assessment)
• Developing a program evaluation and generating questions
• Evaluating program process (Process Evaluation and/or Program Monitoring/Formative Evaluation)
• Determining program impact (Outcome/Formative Evaluation)
• Evaluating the cost-benefit of the program (Efficiency Assessment)
• Identifying and involving stakeholders

At Equastat we have the experience to work with you from question and research design, to the statistical analysis, and finally to the reporting and publication.
