Data collection
Data sources and modes through which the data could be collected should
be identified. Modes of data collection could include analyses of the
program, interviews, focus groups, discussions and questionnaires and
must be appropriate to the sources. A data collection matrix detailing focus
questions, data sources and modes of collection may be an efficient and
beneficial representation of the evaluation to be conducted.
Data analysis
Both qualitative and quantitative data should be analysed to ensure that the
responses to the focus questions are accurately represented.
Reporting
Reports should present the results of the evaluation clearly, simply and
accurately and should be able to be accessed and considered by all
stakeholders. Reports should identify conclusions and recommendations
for future program development based on these conclusions.
