Introduction
This project outlines a research proposal for the evaluation of a Nepali government
program designed and implemented to improve the health status of women in general, and
pregnant women in particular.
This evaluation proposal has been developed based on
Patton’s approach (Patton 1997) because he emphasizes the active participation of the
primary stakeholders in the entire process of the evaluation to maximize the utilization of
the findings in the program, thus making the program more effective and efficient.
Moreover, it suggests that researchers analyze the views of stakeholders in order to
determine findings and to form the research committee overseeing the evaluation.
As a
result, stakeholders may have greater ownership of the findings to make changes in the
program since they understand the research process better; it is argued that without the
active involvement of the primary stakeholders, the findings may not be utilized
