Compassion Program Cycle
Learning posture is part of the role of Compassion’s Program Cycle. This process empowers Frontline Church Partners to prioritize proven interventions as they respond to their most pressing local issues.
Interventions fall under one of these four outcome areas: Capacity for Economic Self-Sufficiency, Youth Agency, Spiritual Development, and Well-being, which are aimed at the long-term goal of young people fully developing their God-given potential and making a difference in their context.
Interventions will be tracked over time and play a critical role in helping us continue to learn and improve.
How the Program Cycle works
Besides promoting greater program effectiveness, the goal of the Program Cycle is to create a culture of continuous learning among our Frontline Church Partners and, as part of a standard Global Outcomes Framework, empower Church partners to customize their program to address the unique needs of the children and youth in their community. The cycle begins with the frontline Church analyzing robust data on the needs of children and youth in their community.
With support from Compassion staff, they design and contextualize a relevant program, drawing on a global catalog of evidence-informed interventions. The Church will then implement the interventions, monitoring challenges and successes to inform learning. After evaluating the results with the Compassion staff, the frontline Church determines whether the interventions achieved their goals.
Together, they celebrate strengths and identify opportunities, using new knowledge and learning to inform adjustments that may be needed as the cycle begins again.
