Abstract:

This 104-page manual prepares readers to: 1) differentiate between the main types of program evaluation, program monitoring, and impact assessment; 2) critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of alternative methods for impact assessment; 3) assess and select the types of evaluation most appropriate to a given setting; 4) identify appropriate indicators and data sources for evaluation; and 5) design an evaluation plan outlining study designs, indicators, and data sources that serves as an action plan for subsequent implementation. A Spanish-language version of this manual, Evaluación de Programas de Planificación Familiar con Adaptaciones para Salud Reproductiva, is also available.
