Description : To support evaluation activities and build on existing evaluation capacity, STEPs proposes to collaborate with RPE to identify outcome indicators to measure and increase the impact of their funded agency-delivered program. In keeping with the RPE building evaluation capacity supplemental funding, this evaluation work plan will focus on carrying out activities centered on completing indicator selection criteria (option #2). The defined deliverables for that option are: (1) determine which indicators are best to select for evaluation of prevention efforts and (2) select appropriate indicators for use in an outcome evaluation.
