The Sexual Assault and Rape Prevention (SARP) project provided technical assistance and training in evaluation to community-based sexual assault prevention and service delivery programs in the State of Michigan. Technical assistance and trainings were provided through individual site visits; phone, fax and e-mail consultation; evaluation trainings; resource materials; and ongoing needs assessment. The project engaged community program staff using a participatory approach to evaluation that included key principles of empowerment evaluation. This model promoted collaboration between the evaluation team and program staff to build the capacity of individual programs to conduct internal evaluation.
