collaborative evaluation systems

A good evaluation system allows your team to make informed decisions that advance your mission and align your program tightly to participant needs and capacity. It also creates accountability to program funders and other stakeholders, including program participants.

Collaborative evaluation systems are culturally relevant and have a focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Through incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data collection, they are able to provide a true picture of the impact your program has. There are a host of evidence-based data collection methods to choose from, especially in the qualitative realm, where participatory and Popular Education based strategies can play a valuable role.
