Types of Evaluation There are 3 types of evaluation: • Formative Evaluation: initial assessment in order to develop appropriate, effective programs • Process Evaluation: same as program monitoring • Summative or Impact Evaluation: examines specific program outcomes and accomplishments
Formative Evaluation for a CSBC Programme • Formative evaluation comprises of activities undertaken to furnish information that will guide the design of CSBC programmes (Bertrand, 2005).
Formative Evaluation for a CSBC Programme Formative evaluation enables us to asses: • Who is most affected by the problem? • What knowledge, attitudes and beliefs exists? • What is the level of access to services? • What are the barriers to action? • What are the communication habits and preferences?
Formative Evaluation for a CSBC Programme: Sources of Data • Monitoring data • Existing epidemiologic and programme reports • Interviews with programme managers, stake holders • Baseline survey data of intended audience • Media ratings data • Service statistics • Other programme records
Process Evaluation Monitoring of CSBC programs is used to improve program performance by influencing immediate decisions about the activities, especially how they can be re-planned and/or improved. It enables the assessment of • Who is being reached by the program • What information is reaching them • Whether or not things are going according to plan • The need for change
Impact Evaluation Impact evaluation of CSBC programmes is used to assess the success of the programme, to judge its worth by assessing its effectiveness in light of relevant problems. It enables the assessment of whether • appropriate behaviors were realized; • these changes can be attributed to the intervention.
Questions Evaluations Answer • Is the programme addressing a real or the right problem? • Is the intervention correct or appropriate? • Are additional interventions necessary to achieve the objectives? • Is the intervention being implemented as planned? • Is it an effective way of addressing the problem, for example, in terms of costs and inputs?
