1 Evaluation-Based Program Development Planning Template Table 1. Define the Problem Identify who, what, where, when, why. 1. Describe Current Situation How does the world look today? 2. Why a Problem? 3. Identify Stakeholders Clearly articulate why the current situation is a problem. Ask why until you get to the root of the problem. Population. Who is affected by the problem? How many people are affected? Stakeholder Leadership. Who has an interest in solving the problem? Potential Collaborators. Who has an interest in solving the problem and/or is already working on the problem? What is the evidence? How can I learn more? Provide references and facts. 3/2/2008 Lydia B.

2 Table 2. Identify Outcome Objectives Who do you want to change? What do you want to accomplish? Do you have the resources to accomplish the changes? 1. Describe Ideal Situation How would the world look if the problem did not exist (the perfect world)? 2. Define Target Audience/s Who or what can we realistically change (youth, families, farmers, policies, etc.)? What do we know about the culture/s of the audience? Do we need to learn more? Target Audience 1: 3. Identify Outcome Objectives What changes can I influence in my target audience/s? Learning Objectives Short term changes in awareness, skills, knowledge, attitudes, aspirations, motivation. List for each target. Action Objectives Medium term changes in behavior, policies, practice, decision-making, social actions. List for each target. Condition Objectives Long term changes in social, civic, economic, environmental conditions. IMPACT Target Audience 2: Target Audience 3: 4. Identify Resources Resources Required Revenue Enhancement Resources Available Resources Needed Potential Grants User Fees Development Opportunities 3/2/2008 Lydia B.

3 Table 3. Plan Program: Process Objectives What will I do to facilitate change in my target audience/s? (These are your process objectives.) 2. Process Objectives Develop Program Theory (IF:THEN) If we = Conduct, deliver, develop, train, provide, etc. Then = Outcome objectives from Table 2 1. Outcome Objectives Insert Outcome Objectives from Table 2. Learning Objectives Short term changes in awareness, skills, knowledge, attitudes, aspirations, motivation. Action Objectives Medium term changes in behavior, policies, practice, decision-making, social actions. Condition Objectives Long term changes in social, civic, economic, environmental conditions. IMPACT If we (insert activities below) Then (insert Learning Objectives) Then (insert Action Objectives) Then (insert Condition Objectives) 3. Plan Program Outputs Deliverables Program, Curriculum, Emergency Kits Scholarship Go to Table 6! Use Table 6 for this part of your plan. 3/2/2008 Lydia B.
