Which grant proposal component outlines how the program's impact will be assessed?

• A. Problem statement
• B. Objectives
• C. Evaluation plan
• D. Sustainability plan

Answer: (C)

Assessing impact is carried out in the evaluation plan. This section specifies the metrics and indicators that show whether the program achieved its intended effects, where the data will come from, how it will be collected, and when it will be gathered. It outlines baseline conditions, targets, and the analysis methods used to interpret results, as well as who conducts the evaluation, how often progress will be monitored, and how findings will be reported to stakeholders. By detailing measurement, data sources, and analysis, the evaluation plan links what you aim to achieve with how you’ll demonstrate it to funders and program staff. The problem statement describes the need being addressed; the objectives state the specific aims; the sustainability plan covers long-term continuation after the grant ends.
