Module 5: Evaluation
Evaluation is a process for measuring impact and identifying opportunities for improvement. Careful
evaluation of programs and initiatives designed to improve food access is critical to ensuring that programs and
initiatives are making progress toward achieving their goals.
For a detailed overview of program evaluation, including the steps for selecting a method and how to share and reflect on the findings, see Evaluating Rural Programs in the Rural Community Health Toolkit.
This module will provide information on less common methods and considerations for conducting evaluations of food access programs.
