ABSTRACT
Education, Training and Research Associates (ETR) employed a centralized evaluation (CE) approach to monitor progress toward COMPASS (COMmitment to Partnership in Addressing HIV/AIDS in Southern States) goals and demonstrate the impact of grantmaking, capacity-building, and HIV-related service delivery. Evaluators 1) developed streamlined surveys to capture people served and impact; 2) held routine meetings with partners to contextualize data; 3) implemented partner feedback loops for refinement; and 4) provided partners with evaluation technical assistance. This streamlined the evaluation process for more than 350 organizations serving people living with HIV (PLWH), which permitted timely outcomes and impact data. Centralized evaluation has been pivotal in offering considerations for data use, informing strategic funding, and facilitating alignment across the initiative. By standardizing measures, evaluators developed a cross-site data collection strategy measuring impact on PLWH. This adoption of CE produced vital recommendations for social impact evaluation and replicability for other large-scale projects.
