Webinar Goal

To equip participants with a foundational understanding of program evaluation, its importance, key concepts, and practical steps for planning and conducting an evaluation.

Learning Outcomes

By the end participants will be able to:

• Distinguish outputs, outcomes, and impact—and write outcome statements that are specific and measurable.
• Build a logic model and basic theory of change.
• Select feasible indicators and targets aligned to mission and funder requirements.
• Design a simple, ethical data-collection plan (surveys, interviews, focus groups, admin data).
• Analyze and visualize findings, interpret results, and write a one-page “decision brief.”
• Close the loop: use results for learning, improvement, reporting, and storytelling.

Get ready to walk away with practical frameworks, templates, and examples you can immediately adapt to your organization’s needs. This session goes beyond theory—it boosts your confidence and skills to make evaluation part of your everyday workflow, helping you tell your story, improve funding applications, and plan for sustainable program growth.
