Program Evaluation Standards

Program Evaluation Standards are a set of guidelines that help assess the quality and effectiveness of programs, ensuring they meet specific criteria. They focus on areas like utility (how useful the evaluation is to stakeholders), feasibility (how practical it is to conduct), propriety (ensuring ethical considerations are met), and accuracy (validity and reliability of the data). By following these standards, evaluators can provide meaningful insights and recommendations, leading to improved decision-making and better outcomes for programs and their participants.
