evaluation
phases. A formative

evaluation
levels. A confirmative
evaluation
occurs after the intervention to determine how well the program did to close the lagging impact results gap and achieve the desired ROI efficiency objective. This last
evaluation
phase also recommends improvements to the program evaluated so decision-makers can act to address program shortcomings and improve program processes.
