At Future Solutions, we offer a variety of Evaluation services to our clients, each tailored specifically to the needs dictated by the situation. We work with clients on three distinct types of evaluation:
Third-Party Evaluation: An objective, unbiased and research-driven assessment of a program or particular intervention. Third-party evaluations are often selected as part of an outside funding or legislative accountability requirement and require us to keep some distance from the client. There is less negotiation or discussion between the client and evaluator during the evaluation process.
Participatory Evaluation: Collection of process and outcome data informs the implementation of programs and systems and assists the client as part of planning and evaluation. We work closely with the client to ensure that the implementation process is aligned with program or project goals, and meet regularly with the client and participate in most planning meetings.
Public Engagement Evaluation: Highlighting best practices or efforts to be documented and disseminated to internal and external audiences. We work with the client to develop appropriate criteria that guide the identification of program strategies or components to be communicated to interested stakeholders or the public at large.
