Evaluation and Monitoring advice
By reviewing your work, and effectively evaluating your own performance against the outcomes you hope to achieve, you will not only help an organisation realise if it is delivering but help an organisation to understand where they can improve
There are many evaluation tools available, it therefore would be wise to consider what your outcomes are and set about developing tools and techniques that work for you organisation, its scale and location.
Some useful web links when understanding and implementing effective evaluation and monitoring of your Play Ranger activity.
