Document Summary
The term approaches refer to formative, process, and summative evaluation and suggests these types of evaluation are distinct. Designs are diagrams that display steps or associations between elements in the evaluation process, often including specific and unique notations. Evaluations are typically defined with descriptions of strategies, summative evaluations are generally associated with experimental, quasi- experimental and non-experimental designs. Formative evaluation focuses on the quality of program content and program implementation. Formative evaluation collects data and informs stakeholders of important findings that could potentially improve a program or its delivery, and allows for appropriate changes before the program is fully implemented and completed. Justification and evidence provides assurance that programs are supported by key stakeholders and are evidence based. Resources relate to adequate internal or external funding and or assistance form partner organizations. Closely related to the concept of resources are 3 types of cost analyses that can help guide planners in the selection of specific interventions.
