Our Evaluation Philosophy
As evaluators, we become partners with our clients.
Our goal is the improvement of projects, not merely their assessment.
We design and implement formative and summative evaluation plans based
on goals, objectives, and outcomes. We develop survey instruments,
interview protocols, and observation rubrics. We hold focus groups,
observe projects in action, and gather quantitative data to assess
attainment of objectives, providing both qualitative and statistical
analysis.
