Hi. I’ve learned that the logic model includes various elements such as inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes. There is another definition named “impact model”. I am confused by the concepts… Is it the same as the logic model?

Hello. Could anyone kindly give me a clue about how to determine the time needed for a program evaluation? It is difficult for inexperienced evaluators (like me!!) to calculate the time for an evaluation. But I need to write a proposal for it…

Following my previous question, I am still very confused. May I ask for more details to achieve the balance between the time requirement of stakeholders and the time needs of evaluators?

Hello! Sometimes, stakeholders may hope to complete an evaluation as soon as possible. May I ask how to deal with the time requirement of stakeholders, especially when it’s contradictory to the time needed for evaluation conduction?

Hello. May I ask a question about how to choose the model for program evaluation? Sometimes I find that it is not enough to adopt only one model. Can I use different models in a program evaluation at the same time?

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.
