Strategies and Ethics
Recall that your Stakeholder Involvement in Evaluation Planning discussion in Unit 5 reviewed the planning and evaluation cycle (Figure 11-1 in your textbook). In addition, in that discussion you explained where in the cycle and how you would seek stakeholder involvement in evaluation planning. The town hall presentation is one such opportunity to do so.
For this discussion, do the following:
Identify the two specific strategies you described in the Stakeholder Involvement in Evaluation Planning discussion in Unit 5 to obtain active involvement in the development of an evaluation plan.
Align these strategies, and specifically name the types of stakeholders (for example, academicians, health professionals, state health department staff, representatives from affected communities, representatives from nongovernmental organizations, et cetera) who would be actively engaged in them.
Identify the likely assumptions of the named stakeholders regarding the health of the community.
Discuss how you can address these assumptions to ensure that feedback loops remain effective.
