Understanding HIV/ AIDS prevention programmes through the use of process evaluation

Through adopting a case-based approach, this research aims to illustrate the types of understanding that stand to be gained through the application of process evaluation. A model of process evaluation is developed which is tailored to address the specific challenges posed by HIV/AIDS as a topic for education. The model proposes a multilayered approach to evaluation and incorporates three main categories: theoretical, pedagogical, and processual. Through considering the conceptualisation and implementation of programmes, the model illuminates aspects of an intervention programme that are often overlooked in the dominant modes of evaluation.
