Terms of Clearance: The Evaluation of Demonstration Projects to End Childhood Hunger is approved consistent with the understanding that although the ICR is designed to assess impacts, implementation, and costs in five demonstration projects, there are significant limitations on the ability to draw conclusions about the relative effectiveness of the programs. As such FNS understands that comparative analysis will be descriptive in nature, only designed to generate hypotheses about the potential impact of alternative project designs or demonstration-site characteristics.
