This presentation provides guidance on the evaluation of SSIP by differentiating between evaluating implementation and impact and reviews possible measures of progress toward achieving the SIMR. Participants discussed and provided input into development of an IDC white paper on the topic. Currently, the white paper is in draft form and undergoing revisions based on input from the field. The published paper will be posted to the IDC Resource Library and affiliated as a related resource to the handout already posted for this session.

The presentation focuses on the key aspects of planning for evaluation of the SSIP. Highlighted information includes the purpose of evaluation, setting the state for evaluation, the importance of focusing on outcomes, evaluation logic, and planning. Helpful handouts are included.
