evaluation models

Evaluation models are frameworks used to assess the effectiveness and impact of programs, policies, or products. They help determine whether goals are being met, how resources are used, and what improvements can be made. Common evaluation models include the logic model, which outlines inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes, and the Kirkpatrick model, which measures training effectiveness at different levels. By systematically evaluating, organizations can make informed decisions, enhance performance, and ensure accountability, ultimately leading to better results and informed strategies for future initiatives.
