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?

Indeed.

Yes, that’s a lot to do.

You may consider the time it usually takes to prepare a proposal, access records, arrange meetings, develop measures of the criteria for intermediate and long-term outcomes, find and observe a reasonable number of program participants and sites, and draw together the observation and prepare written and oral reports. The type of evaluation should also be considered.
