What is program evaluation? Program evaluation is the systematic investigation of the structure, activities, or outcomes of public health programs. It explores whether activities are implemented as planned and outcomes have occurred as intended, and why. Evaluation provides grantees with the evidence they need to shape effective immunization programs by helping them to:
- Manage programs effectively
- Assess and improve existing programs
- Understand reasons for performance
- Plan and implement new programs
- Demonstrate the value of their efforts
- Ensure accountability
