2. Concerned with:
• Analysis and logic of the program
• Plausibility of the program design
• Consistency between program design and
implementation;
• Providing a basis for subsequent program monitoring or
impact evaluation
3. • Has a strong formative purpose
• Work closely with program management and delivers to
conceptualize the program and its characteristics
4. Approaches
• Identify the real goals or intentions of a given program as
distinct form the stated ones
• Identify unrealistic goals that were unachievable through
the program
• Obtain consensus about goals held by different program
providers
• Elaborate the program through attention to how it worked
in practice as a way of making the program more
plausible to policy makers
• Identify various perceptions among managers and site
level providers and identify the logic
5. Program Logic
• Nature of program causality, the ordering of events.
• The presence of one events leading to a subsequent
event
• Does X causes the action of Y
6. Evaluability assessment
• 1. Determine the purpose, secure commitment, and
identify evaluation team members
• 2. Define evaluation boundaries of program to be studied
• 3. Identify and analyse program documents
• 4. Develop and clarify program theory
• 5. Indentify and interview stakeholders and describe their
perceptions
7. Evaluability assessment
• 6. Identify stakeholders needs, concerns and differences
in perceptions
• 7. Determine plausibility of the program model
• 8. Draw conclusions and make recommendations
• 9. Plan specific uses for utilization of findings of the study
