Capacity Building
Description : UNOs Support and Training for the Evaluation of Programs (STEPs) proposes to partner with PMP to navigate through the process of building and disseminating their Me360 program evaluation evidence. ThIs evaluation project would include dissemination of existing evaluation results, evidence-based designation pursuit planning, Me360 fidelity strategic development, Me360 survey refinement, and exploration of Iowas prevention survey data relative to Me360 impact. STEPs uses a participatory, utilization-focused approach to all its work. Participatory means that program staff are engaged in all evaluation activities, including their planning and implementation. Utilization-focused means that evaluation activities are conducted with an eye toward usefulness for the program. As a coalition, PMP has both staff and coalition members/committees who hold a stake in this program evaluation project. STEPs will look to key PMP staff to guide the process of who should be involved in which phases or components of this project.
