Building Capacity in Evaluating Outcomes (BCEO Resource)

Building capacity in evaluating outcomes: A teaching and facilitating resource for community-based programs and organizations provides 93 activities and materials for practitioners working in and with community-based programs to use in building the capacity of individuals, groups, and organizations in evaluating outcomes. It provides, in one place, a complete set of practical resources that can be readily used or modified when working with community-based programs, including:

  • Eight units that cover the core topics of evaluation: getting ready; planning; engaging stakeholders; focusing the evaluation; collecting data; analyzing data; using data; and managing an evaluation. Each unit includes hands-on activities, handouts and a slide presentation.   
  • A Facilitator’s guide that provides resources and tips to enhance learning, as well as strategies to evaluate your own evaluation capacity building work.
  • A glossary, key resource list, and bibliography.
