Program evaluation is a systematic process for determining the merit, worth and effectiveness of a program or project. It involves collecting data on various aspects such as goals, objectives, strategies, inputs, outputs, outcomes, impacts, costs and benefits to assess whether the program has achieved what it set out to do, how well it was implemented, and whether there is any need for improvement. The results of a program evaluation can provide valuable information that can be used by decision-makers to make informed decisions about future programming or funding.
