Descriptive/Analytical Study
|
| Aim |
The evaluation team has been involved in testing an innovative, Theories of Change Approach to evaluation whereby CCBI stakeholders identify their expectations about how change is to be accomplished and measured by specifying the relationship between desired outcomes and the strategies by which those outcomes will be achieved. In collaboration with evaluators, CCBI continues to refine the initiative’s preliminary theory of change to incorporate lessons learned, future directions, and new input regarding the sequencing of activities that contribute to early, interim, and longer-term outcomes.
