CIPPI introduction to the model

1. CIPPI introduction to the model

2. CIPPI Model • Context • Input • Process • Product • Impact

3. Evaluating Home Cooked Meals • What factors would you want to consider?

4. Evaluating Home Cooked Meals • Family routines • Family composition • Family income • Cultural considerations • Practical considerations • CONTEXT

5. Evaluating Home Cooked Meals • How are meals planned? • How are meals scheduled? • How is the shopping done? • By whom? Where? • Quality of ingredients • INPUT

6. Evaluating Home Cooked Meals • How are meals prepared? • By whom? When? • The cooking process • How is the kitchen equipped? • How is the kitchen arranged? • PROCESS

7. Evaluating Home Cooked Meals • The finished product • The meals as they are served • Quality • Taste, Nutrition, Presentation • Satisfaction • PRODUCT

8. Evaluating Home Cooked Meals • How does eating together impact the family in the long run? • What are the long term health consequences of the meals? • Responsiveness to changes in family dynamics, needs, composition • IMPACT

9. Advantages of CIPPI • Matches what we actually do as evaluators. • Lends itself to program improvement. • Helps build alliances with program management.

10. Advantages of CIPPI • Great blueprint for different types of evaluation. • A comprehensive model. • A template onto which you can impose many models and activities.

11. Context Evaluation – Step I • The central task in a Context evaluation is the development of a thorough understanding of the setting within which the Program operates and the conditions under which the treatment is delivered.

12. Context Evaluation – Step I • You are trying to understand: • The Mission of the Program. • The Needs of the Program. • The Audience for and Consequences of the Evaluation.

13. Context Evaluation – Step I • You are trying to understand: • The Basic Structure of the Program. • The Intended Beneficiaries and Stakeholders of the Program. • The Conditions Within Which the Program Operates.

14. Input Evaluation – Step II • The central task in an Input evaluation is to develop an understanding of the Program’s service delivery plan.

15. Input Evaluation – Step II • You are trying to understand: • The origins of the intervention. • The features of the intervention. • The plans for implementation. • Program plans for quality improvement.

16. Process Evaluation – Step III • The main function of a process evaluation, or the process evaluation phase of a comprehensive evaluation, is to monitor the implementation of the Program.

17. Process Evaluation – Step III • You are trying to understand: • Implementation Fidelity • Has the target population been served? • Was the treatment delivered? • With what dosage level?

18. Process Evaluation – Step III • You are trying to understand: • Have the basic expectations of the stakeholders been met? • Has the Program been implemented?

19. Product Evaluation – Step IV • The central focus of a Product evaluation is the documentation of Program achievements or accomplishments. • The goal is to make INFORMED judgments about Program merit or value.

20. Product Evaluation – Step IV • You are trying to understand: • The accomplishment of Measurable Objectives • Focus on Results

21. Impact Evaluation – Step V • The purpose of Impact Evaluation is to extent beyond Product Evaluation and its emphasis on the accomplishment of specific, short-term objectives, to a focus on the long-term Impact of the Program.

22. Impact Evaluation – Step V • If the Product Evaluation demonstrated that the Program is meeting its objectives, Impact Evaluation may focus on higher order questions such as changes that have taken place that can be attributed to specific aspects of the Program. • Causal Inference

23. CIPPI Model • Context • Input • Process • Product • Impact • The goal is to make INFORMED judgments about Program merit or value.
