Evaluation

Tracking and improving March of Dimes programs

Our evaluation process allows us to track and improve March of Dimes programs.

Evaluation is a systemic approach to track outputs and outcomes, and improve quality and of programs and initiatives.  To be most effective, it should be incorporated across the entire program timeline from planning, implementation, and post-implementation.

Factors that affect population-level indicators are diverse and beyond the reach of any project or program. We align our programs with appropriate population-level indicators and track progress towards those population-level indicators while identifying impact of our programs.
