Monitoring Your Program or Policy

With your action plan already in place, the next step is to analyze whether your intervention provides solutions to the problems you seek to solve. Continuing with the Fictionland scenario, this week you will prepare a presentation that describes how you will monitor your program or policy and discusses your research design plan.

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of 7–10 slides, highlighting your process evaluation strategy for monitoring the implementation of your program or policy.

Outline your process evaluation strategy by deciding how you will monitor the following dimensions of your program or policy:

Targets
Program staff or individuals responsible for implementing the program or policy
