How can program coordination evaluations drive security improvement?
Program coordination is the process of planning, managing, and delivering a set of interrelated activities that aim to achieve a common goal or outcome. Program coordination evaluations are systematic assessments of how well a program is performing, what impact it is having, and what areas need improvement. Evaluations can provide valuable feedback to program coordinators, stakeholders, and beneficiaries, and help them learn from their experiences and adapt to changing needs and contexts. One of the key areas that program coordination evaluations can address is security, which is the protection of people, assets, and information from harm or loss. Security is essential for the success and sustainability of any program, especially in complex or volatile environments. In this article, we will explore how program coordination evaluations can drive security improvement by highlighting some of the benefits, challenges, and best practices of conducting and using evaluations for security purposes.
