Child and Youth Development Evaluation Plan Project
CYDEPP’s goal was to develop a system-wide theory of change for the DoD Child and Youth Development System that accounted for individual system components and their potential synergistic impacts. The project outlines a common understanding of how each program impacts the development and health of military families, establishes specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) outcomes, and engages extensively with component program staff to assess program evaluability or readiness for evaluation.
