Our Services
At EGS, we deliver rigorous and context-sensitive evaluation services that help our clients generate actionable insights, improve program effectiveness, and support strategic decision-making. Grounded in a commitment to equity, collaboration, and real-world application, our evaluations are designed to align with client goals while honoring the lived experiences of program participants and community stakeholders.
We recognize that every program and organization is unique. That’s why we tailor our evaluation approach and methodology to fit the specific context, goals, and resources of each client, ensuring that our work is both meaningful and actionable.
Formative Evaluation
We support the development and refinement of programs through early-stage feedback, focusing on design quality, clarity of objectives, and contextual fit. Formative evaluations help organizations ensure that initiatives are aligned with intended goals before full-scale implementation.
Process Evaluation
Our team examines how programs are delivered, identifying facilitators, barriers, and fidelity to intended models. This service is particularly valuable for understanding whether a program is being implemented as designed and where adaptations may be necessary.
Outcome Evaluation
We measure short- and intermediate-term results that occur as a direct consequence of program activities. Outcome evaluations focus on changes in knowledge, behavior, access, or system functioning, helping organizations demonstrate progress toward their intended objectives and identify what works for whom, in what context.
Summative Evaluation
We assess the overall effectiveness and impact of programs, using both quantitative and qualitative methods to measure outcomes and inform decisions about program continuation or scaling. These evaluations often support grant reporting, sustainability planning, and stakeholder engagement.
Implementation Evaluation
EGS offers in-depth analysis of how programs unfold in practice, with attention to organizational capacity, interagency collaboration, and contextual factors that affect delivery. This type of evaluation is ideal for multi-site or complex initiatives requiring real-time learning.
