Evaluating Outcomes of Health Communications Programs Overview The evaluation of health communications programs is a key element of program planning and implementation. The importance of a rigorous evaluation process is increasingly emphasized by donors, program stakeholders, and organizations. While this is still a much debated and evolving topic, several trends and key methodologies have emerged over the past few years as part of the health communication “renaissance”.
