Getting StartedBenefits of EvaluationPrograms that participate in evaluations will obtain objective information about their performance and how it can be improved. Evaluation can provide objective evidence that a program is effective, demonstrating positive outcomes to funding sources and the community. It can help improve program effectiveness and can create opportunities for programs to share information with other similar programs and agencies. Programs can use evaluation findings in a number of ways. For example, the program, to make a case for continued funding and to attract new funding sources, can use evidence of program success. A well-executed evaluation will point out areas in which the program can improve its operations. Also, sharing the results of evaluation has benefits to others outside of the program seeking to replicate justice interventions that work.
