- How will I know if the education project makes a dfference?
|
- Designing an evaluation plan up front can help in project design and management. It helps to ensure that relevant data is captured for evaluation purposes and also to provide good information for communicating and sharing the project outcomes. A useful tool for designing evaluation plans is "Does your project make a difference?"
