Task 3: Develop Evaluation Questions

Guideline:  Evaluation is a critical component throughout the life of a program or project. In planning the evaluation determining the questions to ask is an important step. As a program or project evolves through its life cycle, different questions might be asked at different life stages. Questions to address over the life of a program or project as suggested in the W. K. Kellogg Foundation's Evaluation Handbook include:
  1. What do you want your project to accomplish?
  2. How will you know if you have accomplished your goals?
  3. What activities will your project undertake to accomplish your goals?
  4. What factors might help or hinder your ability to accomplish your goals?
  5. What will you want to tell others who are interested in your project?"
