B7: Beyond evaluation: Why knowing your impact is the only way to survive
B7: Beyond evaluation: Why knowing your impact is the only way to surviveNCVO - National Council for Voluntary Organisations
This document outlines a workshop on using evaluation to improve organizations and increase their impact. It discusses how evaluation can be used to make work better, plan differently, and become more sustainable. The Campaign to End Loneliness is used as a case study to show how their evaluation with CES helped them become clearer on their goals, provide opportunities for learning and fundraising, and improve their work. Key lessons include involving stakeholders in evaluation, using real-time data, and integrating evaluation into the planning process. Ensuring evaluation is used requires resources, collaboration, champions, and flexible approaches.Project evaluation
Evaluation is an important part of any project that helps check progress, collect necessary information for final reports, and learn lessons for future projects. It involves reviewing project goals, collecting both quantitative and qualitative information through methods like questionnaires, interviews and feedback forms, analyzing the findings including identifying strengths, weaknesses, problems and evidence, and sharing results with relevant stakeholders. Developing and following an evaluation plan from the beginning of a project is crucial for ensuring success.
Presentatio of Evaluation
The document summarizes the project evaluation plan for a project kick-off meeting in Krakow, Poland in January 2011. It outlines that the project's development and progress will be formally reviewed at international meetings marking progress towards objectives. The host university will conduct internal evaluations biannually to measure effectiveness, results, and performance efficiency. An external evaluator selected by the partners will also assess the extent to which operational and general objectives were achieved in terms of effectiveness and efficiency, and report results along with conclusions from the internal evaluation.

Going Beyond Evaluation Buzzwords
The document provides an overview of Lauren Decker's presentation on going beyond evaluation buzzwords. It discusses the importance of logic models and theories of change in evaluation. A logic model graphically depicts a program's key components, including resources, activities, participants, and short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes. It also shows how these components are hypothesized to produce intended changes. Measuring implementation fidelity, or the extent to which a program's components are delivered as intended, is important for evaluation. High-quality evaluations clearly use sound practices, focus on use and usefulness, align with program logic models, and consider implementation fidelity. Evaluators should ask the right questions and have clearly defined outcomes.
