    • Assignment:

      Choose either MRC OR Proctor and do one of the following:

      1) For MRC, identify and describe for your program/strategy the components of the key functions listed in the framework (components of context, implementation and mechanisms of impact), or

      2) For Proctor, choose the most appropriate outcomes for your program/strategy (across implementation, service and client outcomes listed in the model) and describe how you could assess them with a robust program evaluation design.
