Program Evaluation
Tools to help you develop a plan to evaluate the success of your projects and programs
Today more than ever, society needs high-quality environmental
education programs that succeed in moving values and changing
behaviours in the direction of sustainability and environmental
conservation. Effective, relevant evaluation offers a very powerful way
to improve these education programs and enables them to succeed in
accomplishing more of their objectives and goals.
