To ensure that they deliver what they promise—and do so cost-effectively—social service providers that serve victims of sexual and domestic violence are beginning to recognize the benefits of evaluating their programs. Many service providers, however, embark on self-evaluations without the underlying infrastructure necessary to support evaluation. Cultivating Evaluation Capacity: A Guide for Programs Addressing Sexual and Domestic Violence helps these service providers assess their evaluation capacity and identify areas of strength, as well as areas for improvement.
In addition to the publication, there is a corresponding Cultivating Evaluation Capacity webinar series to provide domestic and sexual violence service providers with access to five webinars that explore a number of topics addressed in the guide and provide an inside look at how organizations have applied these lessons in the field.
