3. Data Collection and Analysis: We collect relevant data using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including surveys, interviews, focus groups, and document reviews. Our team of skilled analysts then rigorously analyze the data, uncovering insights and trends that inform our evaluation findings.

4. Impact Assessment: We assess the program's impact on its target audience, stakeholders, and broader community. By examining both short-term outcomes and long-term effects, we provide a comprehensive understanding of the program's effectiveness and contribution to desired outcomes.
