Transcript Types of Evaluation

Types of Evaluation
There are 3 types of evaluation:
• Formative Evaluation: initial
assessment in order to develop
appropriate, effective programs
• Process Evaluation: same as program
monitoring
• Summative or Impact Evaluation:
examines specific program outcomes
and accomplishments
Formative Evaluation for a CSBC
Programme
• Formative evaluation comprises of
activities undertaken to furnish
information that will guide the design of
CSBC programmes (Bertrand, 2005).
Formative Evaluation for a CSBC
Programme
Formative evaluation enables us to asses:
• Who is most affected by the problem?
• What knowledge, attitudes and beliefs
exists?
• What is the level of access to services?
• What are the barriers to action?
• What are the communication habits and
preferences?

audience

Other programme records
Process Evaluation
Monitoring of CSBC programs is used to improve
program performance by influencing
immediate decisions about the activities,
especially how they can be re-planned and/or
improved.
It enables the assessment of
• Who is being reached by the program
• What information is reaching them
• Whether or not things are going
according to plan
• The need for change
Impact Evaluation
Impact evaluation of CSBC programmes
is used to assess the success of the
programme, to judge its worth by
assessing its effectiveness in light of
relevant problems.
It enables the assessment of whether
•appropriate behaviors were
realized;
•these changes can be attributed to
the intervention.
Questions Evaluations Answer
• Is the programme addressing a real or
the right problem?
• Is the intervention correct or
appropriate?
• Are additional interventions necessary
to achieve the objectives?
• Is the intervention being implemented
as planned?
• Is it an effective way of addressing the
problem, for example, in terms of costs
and inputs?
