EVALUATION

Our external evaluation approaches are unique, with a focus on enhancing and promoting multi-disciplinary thinking and practice. There is a need to look more deeply into why programs within organizations are so successful. to enable evaluators to make more credible statements on causal links between the contribution of an intervention and the observed effects. Engaging with a variety of stakeholders promotes sharing of data, equitable participation, and public-private partnerships for collaboration. To meet this need and simplify the process for organizations, we recently developed the EVAL Framework. This model, published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, helps us examine complex projects using values and opinion leadership to ensure that solutions we propose are impactful, effective and sustainable (Strong, R., Dooley, Murphrey, Strong, J., Elbert, Baker, 2021).
