Outcome Evaluation

The goal of outcome evaluation is to measure the effectiveness of a program. It involves three core activities:

  1. collecting information on the effectiveness of a program by measuring one or more program outcomes;

  2. systematically analyzing the information collected; and

  3. using the results of the analysis to improve program effectiveness, which may include modifying the program model as well as making other programmatic or administrative changes.
