Indicate Type of Social Ministry next to Community Services Activities by inserting appropriate initials: R (Relief), ID (Individual Development), CD (Community Development),
SC (Structural Change/Advocacy). Aim toward implementing all four styles.
Capacity=Effectiveness (qualitative) + Efficiency (quantitative)
Effectiveness=Outcomes + impact (qualitative)
Efficiency=Inputs + activities + Outputs (quantitative)
Capacity builds trust in an organization. Must have data to build trust. (Reason for pre and posttests) (Updated 9-1-15)
