Evaluation Planning
The purpose of the Evaluation Planning Phase is to create a logic and pathway model as well as an evaluation plan for the program.
We identify three separate stages within the Evaluation Planning Phase: 1: Preparation; 2: Modeling; and 3: Evaluation Plan Development (see Figure 3). Each of these stages, in turn, contains a number of individual steps. Once these stages are completed, the organization will have a comprehensive evaluation strategy that will guide the subsequent Implementation and Utilization Phases of a complete evaluation effort.
