Hello. We have evaluated the family aide service programs provided by NGOs and found that some programs were not effective. I wonder if it is necessary to further explore whether the failure is an implementation failure or a theory failure in the program?

It is my pleasure. Feel free for more questions.

I see. Thank you so much for answering me.

Yes, you are right. If you want to exam whether a program achieved its goals, it’s important to distinguish between implementation failure and theory failure to reach appropriate conclusions about the program and make useful recommendations for the future decision-maker.
