Evaluation guide
Evaluating an activity helps to confirm whether you're making a difference, and uncovers things that could be changed or improved.
-
Before you evaluate
Rigorous evaluations can tell us if what we're doing is making a difference. Sharing your evaluation means your learnings can improve other activities, too.
-
Plan an evaluation
There are different types of evaluation depending on who you want to be involved and what questions you're trying to answer.
-
Evaluation content
Use our tools to identify which activity elements to monitor and the specific questions you need to answer.
-
Collecting data
Collect evaluation data using surveys, focus groups, interviews or observations. Use existing validated scales or use the template to create your own.
-
Reporting
Once you have gathered your data, decide how you'll present it. Evaluations should be shared so others can replicate what worked and avoid what didn't.
