What is evaluation and why is it needed?
Evaluation is monitoring and documenting outcomes and trends through the collection of data, including the collection of data before and after the intervention(s). Collecting data at the beginning of a project, prior to any interventions, will be helpful in identifying and addressing areas of concern, and will provide you with information to measure against once your SRTS program is in place. After projects are completed, collecting data will assist you in monitoring your programs progress and determining its successes and any needs for modification.
