Evaluation Framework - Veterans and Human Services Levy

An important component of the Veterans and Human Services Levy Service Improvement Plan is the development and implementation of an evaluation tool to collect information and report on the effectiveness of levy-supported programs and services.

The levy evaluation framework has been completed, reviewed and approved by the levy oversight boards. It describes the activities necessary to evaluate the impact of levy funding and presents a model for comparing program service activities to the established levy goals and the Service Improvement Plan's core investment areas. The framework also provides a timeline for evaluation implementation.

A template worksheet has been developed to assist levy-funded contractors to define their outcomes, data requirements and data sources and to show the goals and investment areas being addressed by each program, as well as the populations served. This will ensure that the information needed for evaluation studies will be collected.
