Program Monitoring and Evaluation
Keyword(s):
Chapter 17 reviews the importance of evaluating anti-stigma programs and suggests that this should be approached with an eye to understanding the key active ingredients of the program as well as identifying things that may not have worked as planned. It addresses how creating a culture of critical reflection is a key to using evaluation findings to improve program delivery. It also argues that a combination of qualitative data and quantitative data is important if a rich understanding of program processes and effects is to be achieved. Finally, it identifies the importance of communicating results widely, in the academic literature and through reports and presentations that are relevant to policy audiences.
