3. Assessment of OD
• Assessing OD intervention
involves judging about
whether an intervention
has been implemented as
intended and if so,
whether it is having
desired results.

4. Assessment of OD
• There are two distinct types of
OD assessment: On intended to
guide the implementation of
intervention and another to
assess their overall impact.
• Assessment aimed at guiding
implementation may be called
implementation assessment
and assessment intended to
discover intervention outcomes
may be called evaluation
assessment.

5. Assessment of OD
• Assessment of OD involves
decision about measurement
and research design.
• Measurement issues focuses
on selecting variables and
designing good measures.
• Research design focuses on
setting up the conditions for
making valid assessments of
an OD interventions effect.
