Evaluation projects
Evaluation provides a systematic process to document the impact of programmatic work, identifies needs for quality improvement, and maximizes intervention outcomes.
CEPH provides comprehensive evaluation services, and our staff members are skilled in using a variety of methods to conduct evaluation, share lessons learned, and contribute to best practice models. Our evaluation projects are funded by federal agencies, state agencies, private foundations, and community organizations.
