We live in an era of diverse and numerous social programs and projects offered to their target beneficiaries. Therefore, evaluating these programs is a fundamental requirement to accurately determine their ability to achieve their pre-planned and specified goals, and to identify the best programs to meet specific needs or mitigate social problems. This cannot bear fruit in the absence of an evaluation process based on the use of science and knowledge. The social worker's professional roles in any social service and care institution necessitate taking primary responsibility for identifying the needs and demands of target clients and planning programs and projects to meet these needs. They are also responsible for delivering these social programs and projects and participating in their evaluation teams. Hence, it is essential for social work students and practitioners to be familiar with all elements, foundations, methods, tools, and approaches of evaluating social programs and projects. This book attempts to clarify the content related to the evaluation of social programs and projects, which positively reflects on improving programs, making decisions about them, and ensuring their continuity. It is a serious attempt to explain the nature of social programs and projects, their efficiency and effectiveness criteria in achieving predetermined goals, while clarifying evaluation models using a scientific approach so that such programs and projects benefit their intended recipients and build trust in the evaluation team, thereby supporting and enhancing human care and development in society and advancing social welfare.
