Success Measures assists local organizations, intermediaries, and their philanthropic and public sector partners in planning and conducting evaluations using participatory methods and a suite of more than 350 data collection instruments. The Success Measures Data System’s (SMDS) library of these tools can be used individually or in combination, to measure the results of community development programs. SMDS also structures data collection tools for fieldwork or online delivery and tabulates, aggregates, and stores the resulting evaluation data for easy retrieval or download for further analysis.
