EVIDENCE: Information that supports your choice of a specific intervention and its ability to produce your intended outcome. It is NOT enough to just say “we believe” our intervention is “likely” to be successful. You need to justify your choice with evidence.

Possible sources of evidence include: Your past performance measurement outcome data Results from an impact evaluation of your program Research that documents the outcomes of similar programs
