Conclusion

This toolkit was developed to provide a general introduction to harm reduction program evaluation, along with practical guidance and key considerations to reinforce your existing or anticipated evaluation efforts. Although there are many things to keep in mind, we hope that this toolkit builds your confidence in developing a program evaluation. There is no one right way to engage in this process. Your program’s needs, funders’ requirements, and staff capacity play a huge part in determining how, why, and when an evaluation is conducted, so you and the staff and volunteers at your organization will have to determine what a meaningful and feasible evaluation effort should look like for your harm reduction program.
