This paper illustrates a program planning and evaluation process that combines results-based accountability with a theory-driven approach to program design, implementation, and evaluation. This two-sided approach can assist planners, policymakers, funding agencies, and the public as they develop comprehensive education initiatives and other human service programs for children and families. The process can also guide these stakeholders in developing and evaluating programs that are responsive to unique local conditions.
