In this evaluation plan this paper is to make a comparative analysis of the evaluation processes within a shelter for domestic violence a organization like PEACE. I will also look at how technical and political factors that can affect program planning as well as the evaluation processes. Program evaluation is a carefully collection of data which is about the program and some of the aspects within the program. In this evaluation process I will focus on four pacific aspect which are vital to running a successful program, these would be
1. The needs assessments accreditation.
2. Cost/benefit.
3. Effectiveness.
4. Process and outcome.
All these are aimed toward how accurately we can collect and understand the data that is related to our program. There are a number of parties who will use program evaluation report – core team, grant organization, other social groups for case study etc. There are also a number of benefits of a program evaluation, some of them are –

Program evaluation is also connected to the need of the type of information, which is needed to be collected to aid managerial decision-making. Often the management is faced with some troublesome issues like decreased funding, ongoing customer complaints, slow product or service delivery etc. therefore the evaluation process needs to be thorough so that the reaction time of management can be minimized and cost effectiveness can be increased. There are a number of methods... We will evaluate the overall success of this action plan by measuring the following indicators of success:
