During the first steps – the design phase – specific focus is given to the definition of the evaluation questions, the reasons leading to the choice of an external or/and internal evaluator, the identification of the various resources, and finally the preparation of the data collection.
As per the second phase – the conduction of the evaluation – participants work on how to organize the procedures for data collection, how to process and analyze data, and how to formulate recommendations that are feasible to implement.
