Meaningful evaluation! The Foster Care would provide immediate and short-term residential family care for children under 18 years of age, whose parents cannot care for them because of emergency or crisis situations. The service should not exceed 6 weeks.

Hi, everyone. I get a question! Different stakeholders may have different expectations for the program evaluation. May I ask how evaluators could deal with such contradictory expectations?

Hi, we are invited to develop an evaluation program on IFSCs. May I ask why we need to clarify the meaning of evaluation to the program personnel? I thought it was common sense.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
