1. Purpose. Why is this evaluation being requested? What is its purpose? What questions will it answer?
2. Users and Use. To what use will the evaluation findings be put? By whom? What others should be informed of the evaluation results?
3. The Program. What is to be evaluated? What does it include? What does it ex-clude? When and where does it operate? Who is the intended client for the pro-gram? What are the goals and objectives of the program?
What problem or issue is the program intended to address? Why was it initiated? Who was involved in its planning? What prompted the selection of this strategy or intervention? Who is in charge of the program? Who delivers it? What are their skills and training? Has it ever been evaluated before? What data exist on it?
