Q&A
Q: What should be included in an evaluation purpose statement?
The Evaluation Purpose Statement should be brief, but should identify the purpose of the evaluation (what are you trying to find out, and why?), provide a concise description of what will be done in the evaluation (how will you do it?), and what parts of the program will be examined (which assumptions, activities, outcomes, or relationships will be focused on?), and explain how the results will be used. It should also explain how this evaluation fits in relative to past and possible future evaluations. In some cases, it may also be appropriate to explain in your Purpose Statement why your evaluation is not going to cover some issues that might be considered a priority by some stakeholders.
Q: Should I include numbers in my outcome, like “50 farmers will adopt new crop management practices”?
Including numbers would specify a target for your program (and as such is completely appropriate for grant applications or program descriptions if the funder or audience expects that). However for purpose of wording outcomes in a the logic model, it is important to recognize that the logic model provides the basic logic of how your program works, and outcomes describe the changes you are expecting to see as a result of people’s participation in the program. Stating specific numbers detracts from the articulation of the theory of change, by suggesting that the program is a mechanistic black box that “always” leads to 50 changes. So depending on your program situation, a more appropriate phrasing for this outcome might be “Farmers adopt new crop management practices” (if you are just looking for them to change), or perhaps more specifically “Farmers adopt recommended best management practices for crop rotation” (if you are aiming for them to adopt a specific new practice).
