Program Evaluation

As a community partner you have a special role in the implementation of Responsible Fatherhood programs, particularly as they apply to coalitions, and collaborative arrangements. In this section, the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC) provides resources groups can use to evaluate their Responsible Fatherhood programs. Evaluation is an increasingly important tool used to assess programs that receive or may potentially receive funding, particularly from the Federal government.
