Outreach Planning Guide
“It is useful to develop measurable indicators for each objective. Measurable indicators are quantifiable measurements that are developed for each objective ahead of time and are used to determine whether progress is being made towards the program’s long term goals.
For example, how will you know if:• The program is structured in the best way to meet the needs of vulnerable populations?• Vulnerable populations are being reached?• Partner agencies are developing the capacity to better serve vulnerable populations?• The behaviours and situations of vulnerable populations are changing?• The targeted population is becoming healthier?”
