stakeholder relationships, program design, data collection and
analysis, reporting results, and other important steps in the

participants for the evaluation and how to deal with multiple goals

and the client. The authors illustrate the circumstances under
which each evaluation model can be used, and offer tips on
identifying data sources and collecting the data. This revision

approaches, the business of evaluation, the evaluator's role and
responsibilities, RFPs and the grants process, logic models, data
analysis, and writing the evaluation report. Also included are new

facilitate the understanding of each evaluation concept.
