Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program (SWEEP) evaluation assessment

Abstract

This report presents the results of the evaluation assessment of the Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program (SWEEP). The main purposes of an evaluation assessment are to: 1. prepare a description of the program, its history, environment, and components, and to examine the linkages between the program's activities and objectives, 2. determine the evaluation issues that should be examined in the subsequent evaluation study, 3. define how evaluation issues may be addressed, including identification of research questions and data sources, and 4. outline several options for carrying out the evaluation study and recommend a preferred evaluation plan.
