Research and Evaluation

Evaluation is an important part of Roots of Hope. As much as we just want to roll up our sleeves and do the work, we want to stop and reflect to make sure what we are doing is having an impact. We also want to understand why and how our work is making a difference. Our efforts need to be thoughtful and mindful of the people we are working with and their time and capacity to support evaluation.
