wk9Assignment: Drafting a Process Evaluation
The steps for process evaluation outlined by Bliss and Emshoff (2002) may seem very similar to those for conducting other types of evaluation that you have learned about in this course; in fact, it is the purpose and timing of a process evaluation that most distinguish it from other types of evaluation. A process evaluation is conducted during the implementation of the program to evaluate whether the program has been implemented as intended and how the delivery of a program can be improved. A process evaluation can also be useful in supporting an outcome evaluation by helping to determine the reason behind program outcomes.
There are several reasons for conducting process evaluation throughout the implementation of a program. Chief among them is to compare the program that is being delivered to the original program plan, in order to identify gaps and make improvements. Therefore, documentation from the planning stage may prove useful when planning a process evaluation.
For this Assignment, you either build on the work that you completed in Weeks 6, 7, and 8 related to a support group for caregivers, or on your knowledge about a program with which you are familiar. Review the resource “Workbook for Designing a Process Evaluation”.
By Day 7
Submit a 4- to 5-page plan for a process evaluation. Include the following minimal information:
A description of the key program elements
A description of the strategies that the program uses to produce change
A description of the needs of the target population
An explanation of why a process evaluation is important for the program
A plan for building relationships with the staff and management
Broad questions to be answered by the process evaluation
Specific questions to be answered by the process evaluation
A plan for gathering and analyzing the information
This is my discussion from week7 work to build from
RE: Discussion – Week 7
COLLAPSE
When it comes to improving young mother’s welfare it is important to considered everything that surrounds that mother. Low income young mothers face a unique situation because they get motherhood thrown to them at a tender age. These mothers strive to satisfy their daily needs because they are unable to secure good employment opportunities because they are unable to work full time while taking care of their children. They are therefore left with no other option but to settle for low earning jobs (Ngum Chi Watts et al., 2015). Other facilities such as welfare schemes, quality health services and support groups may also not be accessible to them. There is need to improve the social welfare of young mothers so that they are able to live more fulfilling and enriching lives.
These young mothers constantly require a support system on their motherhood journey. This is through development of a program whose aim is to guide mothers through this journey and how they can improve their social welfare so that they are able to support their young families. The logic model should be aligned towards solving these challenges for young mothers.
Figure 1: Illustrating the Logic Model for Young mothers
The expected outcome for this model is an improved approach to motherhood. Research on young mothers’ show that they are often exposed to challenges that make them frown upon motherhood (Simmons, 2020). On top of not being able to cater satisfactorily for the needs of their children, they are not able to embrace motherhood. Children present an extra burden of responsibility that they are often not prepared to welcome. Furthermore, they are likely to face mental and emotional distress that makes them unable to concentrate on their jobs.
The outcomes of this logic model are divided into two short term and long term outcomes. For the short come outcomes, the model proposes an increased awareness of support systems. Many mothers tend to know about the existence of these support systems but the main challenge is lack of an enabling environment that would allow young mothers to embrace these groups as a safe haven for them rather than a source of ridicule. Consequently, they are able to seek help whenever they run into challenges. The long term outcome is improved social life and capacity so that these young women are able to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives for themselves and their children.

Create a quality digital presentation with no more than 12 slides (including detailed speaker notes for all) that describes the dynamic system, the Causal loop diagram, and the rationale for each assumption. Each presentation will be turned in individually and should include the following:
A clear definition/introduction of the dynamic system
Causal loop diagram modeling the relationships between factors in the dynamic system.
Dynamic system model that is appropriate for the system
Use MS Excel to construct and run a model simulation. The simulation will require finding relevant data to be used in the model.
Three output graphs that display three possible outcomes from the system. For example: equilibrium and imbalance that favors one of the factors over the other.
A description of the limitations of your model, and how you could improve it
Explain why this clear explanation of the model and assumptions is needed to provide an ethical representation of the data
APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected. All citations must be in APA format.

Description
This week we explore systems dynamics by picking a system, creating a causal loop diagram for the system, and analyzing the capacity/through put for the system with stock and flow.
Before you can attack this work, you must select a system. I strongly suggest you pick a simple system such as a kitchen sink. If you pick something too abstract or too complex, this will be very difficult to do.
Here are the steps:
Causal loop diagram – create a diagram that shows how the system components relate to one another, this can be done with any tool even hand drawn but must be in the form of casual loop diagram (research this on the web and look at my example links below).
Dynamic system model using a stock and flow technique – you will document inflows, stock, and outflows see info below for assistance or research on your own.
Using the model you developed, you will construct a model simulation using Excel. – (essentially you will create tables in Excel documenting the capacity of the model at different points in time (inflow, stock, outflow). Documenting these over time will allow you to create graphs (for item 4 below).
Three output graphs that display equilibrium, imbalance in favor of one component, and imbalance in favor of a second different component. – Essentially underfilled, full, and overfilled.
A description of the limitations of your model, and how you could improve it – Self-explanatory.

World Population

/in /by

Consider the following information about the composition of the Earths population. Attempt to determine the source and validity of the information.

Whatever the source of this information you do (or do not) find may be, accept the information as true for the purposes of this Assignment. Prepare an essay of between 250 and 400 words that discusses your questions and conclusions regarding the information, as well as what, if any, action you would propose based on those conclusions. (100 points)

The current population of Earth is around 7.8 Billion. For most people, it is a large figure, that is all. However, someone has condensed the 7.8 billion in the world into 100 persons,

and then into various percentage statistics. The resulting analysis is relatively much easier to comprehend.

Out of 100 :

11 are in Europe

5 are in North America

9 are in South America

15 are in Africa

60 are in Asia

49 live in the countryside

51 live in cities

12 speak Chinese

5 speak Spanish

5 speak English

3 speak Arabic

3 speak Hindi

3 speak BengalI

3 speak Portuguese

2 speak Russian

2 speak Japanese

62 speak their own language.

77 have their own houses

23 have no place to live

21 are over-nourished

63 can eat full meals

15 are under-nourished

1 ate the last meal, but did not make it to the next 
meal.

The daily cost of living for 48 is less than US$2.

87 have clean drinking water

13 either lack clean drinking water or have access to a water source that is polluted.

75 have mobile phones ????

25 do not.

30 have internet access

70 do not have conditions to go online.

7 received university education

93 did not attend college.

83 can read

17 are illiterate.

33 are Christians

22 are Muslims

14 are Hindus

7 are Buddhists

12 are other religions

12 have no religious beliefs.

26 live less than 14 years

66 died between 15 – 64 years of age

8 are over 65 years old.

If you have your own home,

Eat full meals & drink clean water,

Have a mobile phone,

Can surf the internet, and have gone to college,

You are in the miniscule privileged lot (in the less than 7% category).
