May I further ask why evaluators should learn about all stakeholders before evaluation? It seems quite unrealistic to understand everyone’s intention.

Hello. Our organization is preparing for an evaluation of the Project on Child Care Training for Grandparents in Hong Kong. As you may be aware that in most families of China, grandparents are taking care of children, instead of young parents. And they are very likely to meet lots of challenges in getting updated childcare knowledge and skills. Could anyone kindly give me a clue about who could be included as the participants of our evaluation?

I have heard about the upcoming International Conference on ‘Program Evaluation and Social Impact Assessment’. It sounds very helpful for me to get a deep understanding of how to conduct a program evaluation independently. I just wonder where I could get the access?
