Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The evaluation principle of build capacity is important in enhancing the skills, knowledge, and attitudes of both professionals and nonprofessionals. It is important to allow for flexibility because evaluation approaches must not be rigid and prescriptive, or it will be difficult to document the incremental, complex, and often subtle changes that occur. Use of multiple approaches is important because evaluation methods are numerous and varied. No single approach is favored, but the method chosen must be congruent with the purposes of the program. The evaluation principle of create a participatory process highlights the importance of community members as partners in evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Just as the community members were part of assessment, analysis, planning, and implementation, so too they must be partners in evaluation. It is critical to have created a participatory process. Formative evaluation answers the question: Are we doing what we said we would do? Based on the formative evaluation, revisions can take place. Impact (or summative) evaluation is concerned with the immediate impact of a program on a target group. Effective is not an evaluation type.
