It improves staff retention rates and the completion of assignments, and it decreases the costs associated with frequent staff turnover.

InterAction asked its Evaluation and Program Effectiveness Working Group (EPEWG) to contribute an article to Monday Developments on the evaluation issues of greatest concern to us today. We received input from a range of program area and context perspectives.

Approximately one-third of InterAction's members identify themselves as "faith-based" or "faith-founded."
