Abstract:
Utilization Focused Evaluation (UFE) begins with the premise that evaluations should be judged by their utility and actual use. The ISIF programme includes the goal of encouraging innovative approaches to the extension of Internet infrastructure services in the Asia Pacific region. Proposals submitted to ISIF go through rigorous review and evaluation processes. The UFE evaluation findings and the framework provided by the UFE approach were used to update reporting templates for the 2010 ISIF grant recipients. The organization benefitted in numerous ways from applying UFE concepts and steps, improving reporting efficiency and clarity.
