Program evaluations are completed for many different reasons-to demonstrate effectiveness for funding, to evaluate strengths and weaknesses for improvement, to determine allocation of limited resources, or simply to document program accomplishments or activities.
The first step in program evaluation is to identify the purpose for the evaluation, followed closely by identification of stakeholders that will be affected by it. Stakeholders include everyone who is affected by and/or will be consumers of the evaluation results.
Engaging stakeholders in an evaluation process requires the design and implementation of communication and research strategies that are tailored to the needs of each group.
The purpose of your communication with each may be to attract or sustain funding, or to inform, coordinate, or gather data. Strategies to meet these communication goals may include any method from staff meetings to community fairs to complex survey research efforts.
Submit a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following:
· Identify the institution you selected from the Interactive Community ( New Harbor Memorial hospital) and write a brief (approximately 200 words) evaluation proposal for a need it may have. The goal is to be concise and yet specific.
· Create profiles of four stakeholders that would be involved in or affected by an evaluation at this organization. Explain the level of contact or information that each stakeholder would need before, during, and after an evaluation project as well as each stakeholder's familiarity with evaluation and its vocabulary.
· Explain the optimal communication for each stakeholder (e.g., oral, written, face-to-face) and the considerations that would be best practices in any plan (e.g., reading level, linguistic diversity, physical impairments to communication).
· Explain any methodology issues that would be pertinent to stakeholder communication in this setting. For example, if you profile stakeholders who are clients at a hospital clinic, you might identify data collection through anonymous questionnaires rather than a Delphi technique that requires repeated contact.
· Finally, explain and address any ethical considerations for your communication plan with stakeholders.
