Describe three evaluation methods and their purpose.

1. Quantitative Data Analysis: This evaluation method involves gathering and analyzing numerical data to measure program outcomes, such as survey responses or numerical progress indicators. The purpose of this method is to assess the effectiveness of a program and identify areas for improvement.

2. Qualitative Data Analysis: This type of evaluation takes a more subjective approach, looking at qualitative information such as interviews, focus groups, or documents. It provides insight into the causes and effects of various aspects of the program that cannot be determined through quantitative data alone.

3. Outcome Mapping: This method is used to evaluate projects in terms of their results rather than just outputs or activities. It focuses on capturing how different elements influence each other over time in order to better understand why certain outcomes were achieved (or not).
