Assessing Your Impact

Why?

Evaluations can serve many purposes and benefits depending on how the evaluation framework is developed and implemented, and how the results are disseminated.

Evaluation can:

• Help design a project or program
• Ensure program goals & objectives are being met
• Assist in improving program implementation, staff and organizational development
• Document program impact and support resource allocation decisions
• Report on progress and communicate a program's value
• Gather and disseminate learning about a program or domain of activity
• Support ongoing innovative and adaptive program design
• Inform future policy related to a specific project, program or issue
