Program Evaluation Primer (PowerPoint PPTX)

This slide deck relates to understanding, planning, and executing Program Evaluations.

Program Evaluations are fairly common in the Not-for-Profit sector where large donors or funding agencies select contractors to carry out evaluations of the process or impact of the programs they implement. Program Evaluation is an opportunity for organizational and individual learning. This deck draws from the principles of Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development/Development Assistance Committee (OECD/DAC).

This presentation guides the executives—who plan or execute evaluations—through comprehensive and practical guidance on:

•  What Program Evaluations are
•  The need for doing Program Evaluations
•  Types of Evaluation, its core Dimensions, and Approaches
•  How to Implement a Program Evaluation (the end-to-end process)
•  Abstract from a Program Evaluation
•  Outline stakeholder's roles and responsibilities
•  Prepare for and conduct program evaluations
•  Utilize evaluation results

The presentation also provides additional documents and templates (which are editable and ready to use) for better understanding of the Evaluation concept and its implementation.
