Webinar Recording: Three Legged Stool: Evaluation, Monitoring, and Feedback
Almost all foundations and nonprofits want a better understanding of how their funding, services and products are (or are not) making a difference in real people’s lives and how they might be improved.
This webinar introduces a new framework for measurement in the social sector. It is a three legged stool: (1) evaluation; (2) monitoring; and (3) feedback from your ultimate beneficiaries. It draws on examples of how this plays out in practice at the Nurse-Family Partnership.
