Evaluation and research studies

Evaluation and research studies systematically investigate questions to understand how things work or determine the effectiveness of programs, strategies, or interventions. Evaluation focuses on assessing the value, success, or impact of a specific project or policy, often to inform decision-making. Research studies aim to generate new knowledge or validate existing ideas through careful methods such as experiments, surveys, or observations. Both involve collecting and analyzing data to draw reliable conclusions, helping organizations improve practices, policymakers make informed choices, and researchers expand understanding in various fields.
