How are you defining success for this program or project?

Initially we are looking at success at how we will reach our objectives as outlined in the proposal . After year, the firm will define success as a continued referral from our partnering organizations Angels (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008).This is so as a positive feedback from the community via our formal feedback strategyand incorporation of the project into our operating budget.

Evaluation component

The firm’s formal referral system and feedback strategy will serve a dual pupose for all individuals of Los Angels. This is possible as we will first track all referrals of Los Angels, which services we are able to give out, and where the referrals are coming from. Thereafter, our feedback loop will enable us to be in the position of gathering information concerning members satisfaction with our services (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008).This assist us to review our running within every six months of attenting to our patients.

This is of particular importance since one of our objectives with the program is to grow and institutionalize our collective cultural competence. Moreover, we strive to provide medical security for the

individuals of Los Angels in order to make their lives better Angels (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008).The satisfaction reports will enable us to fine-tune our outreach and newly developed HIV/AIDS program worth offering to the community.

Concerning issues related to our HIV/AIDS self managent class, we will employ a combination of evaluation tools in order to reach the set trget by the program. We will go to the extent of using pretests and protests with every new client who participates in the class. We will test each individual for HIV/AIDS at the beginning of classes. This issue of monitoring will be done by the nurse who will use safer and modernized equipments to measure it individual. The medical readings will be documented in the client’s file every month for six months Angels (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008).This will entail to determine whether participation in the self management classes has an effect on the patients ability to successfully manage their HIV/AIDS status and thereforeeffectively manage their lives.

The firm will go to the extent of using the program to counter all the negative impacts that are degrading the rise of the people of Los Angels. This is so as all parties will be educated on ways of avoiding negative issues thatmight make them caught at wrong palces. This is so as better and cheaper medical apparatus will be availed to them hence reduce the rise of HIV/AIDS. This will be possible due to the presence of a modernized community that will put into practice what they are taught at the classes Angels (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008).This will be assesses weekly by the program officer in order to confirm if all is going in the direct direction.

The program officer will also use medical records and interviews to confirm if patients are benefiting from the program. This will lead the program add more strategies in event that the objectives are not being met. Thus, their success will be based on the patients participation and assistance. This is so as the programs objective is to deliver a better and safer atmosphere for all individuals of Los Angels (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008). Particularly individuals who are unable to pay for their medical covers and this will be a positive impact for the firm.
