Types and Purposes of Evaluation
Evaluations are designed to address various questions and can use a variety of designs. It is important to identify the type of evaluation to be conducted and to select an evaluation design that is most appropriate for the program. When it comes to program evaluation, one size does not fit all.

- identify the type of evaluation conducted in the case study.
- Examine the selected evaluation design and methodological approach, and provide your assessment of whether or not the proposed design is appropriate. Offer a justification for your assessment.
- Describe one of the challenges faced by the evaluators in the development of the evaluation plan.
- Examine the role of the program stakeholders in the evaluation, and provide your assessment of whether or not program stakeholders were sufficiently involved in the evaluation process. Offer a justification for your assessment.
