In Green Aces International Limited we have completed numerous evaluation projects which are mostly of three main types. All these evaluation projects vary mainly depending on the stage of the project. However, at times classification is based on different criteria such as the methodology adopted. Also, to note is that in these projects collect data through computer Aided Personal interviewing (CAPI) method through use of Open Data Kit Software (ODK). These types of evaluation are Baseline evaluation, mid-term evaluation, and End of Term evaluation

a.Baseline Surveys:

This type of survey/evaluation/study is carried out before an actual project is implemented. We usually conduct Baseline Surveys mainly to review the existing status in the targeted population, which in turn informs project focus. The Baseline Survey is an important type of evaluation as it is not only the starting point of a project, but also forms the basis for evaluation. Additionally, the tools and methodologies that are used at the Baseline evaluation are usually the ones that are carried on to other stages of evaluation such as the mid-term and End of term evaluation.

b. Mid-term Evaluations:

We usually conduct Mid-term reviews in the middle project. The mid-term reviews are important for the purposes of establishing whether a project is heading towards the set goals and objectives, thereafter informing management and control decisions by the project management. It is important in building organizational confidence in the project implementation strategies, or in the case where indicators are not pointing towards success, acting as a call to the change of implementation strategies. It is however important to note that in the case where a project has a long-life cycle, it might be important to conduct periodic evaluations before the actual mid-term evaluation, although this might depend on management goodwill and availability of funds.

c. End of Term evaluation:

as the end-term evaluation or the project completion evaluation. It is intended to be carried out immediately at project conclusion. Summative evaluation is carried out to establish project outputs and immediate outcomes, with results of the evaluation compared to the results at baseline. This evaluation generally informs stakeholders on the project success and is important for documenting success stories and lessons learnt
