Synopsis:

Designing and Managing Programs: An Effectiveness-Based Approach, Fourth Edition, is an updated version of THE classic book on program planning, design, and implementation. This new edition is written in a deliberate manner designed to help students logically follow the program planning process. An increased emphasis on diversity teaches students and program planners how to develop a well-rounded program that meets the needs of relevant populations.

The book′s format guides students from problem analysis through evaluation, enabling them to apply these concepts to their own program plans.
