explored how organizations plan for population needs and
necessary services by implementing needs assessment surveys.
Organizations and their funders want to know that program
planning is done in an efficient and fiscally responsible way.
Once programs are in place and services are being rendered,
they also want to know that programs are progressing toward
their goals and are making positive differences in the lives of
their communities (and more specifically, the population
receiving program services). To do this, organizations engage in
program evaluation.
There are three main types of program evaluation: outcome-
focused, empowerment, and outcome-focused empowerment. In
outcome-focused evaluation, criteria for program success is set
and evaluated by persons outside the direct program staff.
Empowerment evaluation allows program staff to set and
measure their own evaluation terms, and outcome-focused
empowerment is a combination of the two. Each type of
evaluation has its own benefits and limitations, and is more or
less appropriate for various evaluation situations.
In this Discussion, you will conduct research on program
evaluation and evaluate the evaluation approaches found in
those articles.

Ethiopia is faced with challenges posed by natural disasters,
especially drought. Integrated approaches to disaster risk

those most vulnerable to disaster. The Women
Empowered
(WE) approach provides economic and social opportunities for
women to build resilience to respond to disasters. This study
examines the association between WE group membership and
disaster preparedness and whether this relationship is mediated
by social capital. We used a multi-stage random cluster
sampling strategy to select and interview 589 female
respondents from Lage Hidha district (298 from the intervention
area and 291 in the comparison area). Using Stata 14.0, we
employed Poisson regression analysis to study the mechanisms
through which WE groups are associated with disaster
preparedness. After controlling for clustering and confounding
factors, we found that different components of social capital
mediate the relationship between WE group membership and
disaster preparedness. Specifically, taking action to prepare for
a disaster is primarily mediated by emotional support from the
group and perceived preparedness for a disaster is mediated by
social network support, emotional support from the group,
collective action, and trust. This study suggests that the
association between WE groups and disaster preparedness
operates through social capital in drought-prone areas of
Ethiopia. Future research is needed to determine which forms of
social capital have the greatest potential to help families
prepare for and respond to a variety of humanitarian crises.
