Plan evaluation is a research area that focuses on assessing the effectiveness, performance, and outcomes of various plans, programs, policies, or interventions. This involves identifying the objectives of the plan, developing evaluation criteria, collecting data, analyzing results, and making recommendations for improvement. Plan evaluation often includes measuring whether the plan achieved its intended goals, identifying any unintended consequences, and determining the overall impact of the plan on the target population or environment. Evaluation methods may include qualitative and quantitative data collection, surveys, interviews, observations, and statistical analysis. The goal of plan evaluation is to provide evidence-based information to stakeholders to inform decision-making, improve future planning efforts, and ensure accountability and transparency in public policy implementation.
