Description
Excerpt: Introduction If you don’t know where you’re going, how are you gonna’ know when you get there? –Yogi Berra In line with its core mission – To help people help themselves through the practical application of knowledge and resources to improve their quality of life and that of future generations – the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has made program evaluation a priority. As our staff and grantees work on a spectrum of social improvement programs, the need for shaping and contributing to the body of knowledge regarding evaluation becomes increasingly clear. Our first guide, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Evaluation Handbook, was published in 1998, and has been made available to nearly 7,500 people.The Evaluation Handbook is a practical, step-by-step manual for conducting evaluations.With the Handbook, we introduced the concept of the program logic model and the ways in which applying this concept has added value to our own work
