Evaluate and Adapt

Prac­ti­tion­ers may need to peri­od­i­cal­ly adjust strate­gies and actions to account for changed con­di­tions, address unfore­seen obsta­cles or mit­i­gate unin­tend­ed con­se­quences.  We do this through eval­u­a­tion and adap­tive man­age­ment. Eval­u­a­tion is the analy­sis of data col­lect­ed through mon­i­tor­ing and oth­er sources. It should assess progress toward out­comes and inter­me­di­ate results, using indi­ca­tors iden­ti­fied in the mon­i­tor­ing and eval­u­a­tion plan. Also as iden­ti­fied in the mon­i­tor­ing and eval­u­a­tion plan, eval­u­a­tion should pro­duce results tai­lored to influ­ence key audi­ences and iden­ti­fy risks or impacts that need to be fur­ther mitigated.
