Simple Steps Towards Change

Tips for Evaluation:
• Keep your evaluation simple and relevant
• Try to gain inputs from a lot of different sources. Ask your participants, your partners and your team members what they
thought.
• You will probably learn that the project has unexpected outcomes, both positive and negative. Think about how the
project has influenced and affected the participants, your community, your organization, and even yourself.
• Include details on factors that negatively impacted your project (were these truly outside your control, or were they risks
that could have been avoided?).
• Spend some time highlighting recommendations for the future, so that when similar projects are launched, they are
more likely to have greater impact.
