GUIDE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGY- WHEN TO MEASURE EFFECTIVENESS, WHO SHOULD EVALUATE, WHICH APPRAISAL TECHNIQUES SHOULD BE USED AND HOW TO ASSESS THE FINAL RESULTS.
Abstract
A SECTION PRESENTS A TYPOLOGY OF EVALUATIONS - A MODE OF CLASSIFICATION THAT CAN BE SUED AS AN AID TO THE EVALUATION PLANNING AND EXECUTION PROCESSES. THE TYPE OF EVALUATION IS DETERMINED BY THE PURPOSE AND SUBJECT OF THE EVALUATION AND BY THE PERSON OR GROUP FOR WHOM IT IS BEING PLANNED. ANOTHER SECTION COVERS THE PLANNING OF ANNUAL EVALUATIONS, WHILE THE NEXT SECTION DISCUSSES THE PREPARATION FOR SPECIFIC EVALUATIONS WITHIN A GOVERNMENT CONTEXT. THE FINAL SECTION COVERS THE PREPARATION OF CRITICAL PROGRAM SUMMARIES, THE CONSOLIDATION OF STATISTICAL EVIDENCE, AND THE SUBJECTIVE JUDGMENT OF THE EVALUATOR. THERE IS AN APPENDIX WHICH SUMMARIZES THE DOCUMENTATION DESCRIBED IN AND CALLED FOR BY THIS GUIDE. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
