Overview

An informal half day  workshop focused on evaluating and planning for voluntary organizations, with the primary objective being to guide these organizations in assessing their current standing and determining their future direction.   

The workshop aims to achieve this by:

- Helping organizations understand the concept and importance of evaluation.   
- Aiding in the clarification of organizational aims.   
- Reviewing current performance against these aims.   
- Analysing problem-solving and complaint-handling processes.   
- Conducting a SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.   
- Exploring future possibilities and directions for growth.   
- Discussing the pros and cons of new developments.   

The ultimate goal is to enable organizations to use the workshop's findings to develop future strategies and plans
