It Can Ensure Increased Program Support
Programs that can demonstrate their success through evaluation
are much more likely to get financial support, as well as
legislative, community, and technical support.
Without objective evaluation, program managers and staff
cannot show that their work is worthwhile, and other public
health programs cannot learn from the program’s success.
In addition, without adequate evaluation, programs cannot
show funding agencies that their work is successful, or publish
the results of their work in professional or public health
journals for others to share.
Obviously, programs that can show their success with facts
and figures are more likely to receive continued funding and
to publish the results of their work than are programs that
cannot provide this evidence.
