Funders often require social service agencies to conduct program evaluations. Such research formally measures the achievement of the goals and objectives of the funded program. Measurement of formal goals and objectives enables agencies to document successes and build upon them. Accountability to boards, clients, and communities can be readily demonstrated. Planning to meet the needs of clients and the community is facilitated. Resources are used most effectively.

Numerical data provides an overview while textual data gives insight by filling in the important details. |
