2. The three types of evaluations are impact, process and cost-benefit. Impact evaluation is it focuses on what changes occur after the introduction of the policy, intervention, or program. Process evaluation considers the implementation of a program or initiative and involves determining the procedures used to implement a specific program.

Process evaluations are prevalent because they offer a detailed descriptive account of the program and its implementation.
