Focus on evaluation-expected outcomes and intended audiences. With an emphasis on accountability, evaluation is always a timely subject.
- Evaluation process: (1) What outcomes are expected, and (2) for what audiences?
- Are the needs of the participants being met?
- Are there data to verify needs are being met?
- If expected outcomes are revised, how does that affect the audiences who
have a stake in the project?
- What is the role of the evaluator?
- What about unintended outcomes?
