Interview on project goals and measures

This kind of interview allows:

• an overview on the goals and activities of the projects to be obtained which then can be matched with the program goals and focal points.
  
• the concluding program evaluation to be prepared,
• the relation of the individual projects to the overall program to
  be made clear and
  
• possible difficulties in project implementation to be identified.

A prerequisite is that you know the goals of the program; ideally, a goal hierarchy has been developed for your program with policy and mediator goals (cf. information about goal hierarchies).

The questions are directed at the project leader or another representative of the project. The interviews can be conducted by telephone or (preferably) in a person; the answers can be written down or can be recorded by an audio recorder (with the consent of the interviewee).

1. Goals:

• Which mediator goals of the goal hierarchy does the project in question pursue?

2. Measures:

• With which measures does the project aim to achieve its mediator goals?

3. Indicators:

• How would one know whether the goal in question has been achieved?
  

4. Relation to the overall program:

• What relation does the project in question have to the overall program?

5. Problems and need for support:

• In which areas does the project implementation experience problems and which kind of support would be useful for further project work?
