Policy evaluation determines the effectiveness and efficiency of government policies by systematically collecting and analyzing information. It aims to assess whether social interventions have achieved intended results, though results are not always well received. There are two main types of policy evaluation - formative evaluates program operations for improvement, while summative measures achievement of goals. The evaluation process involves defining the purpose and scope, specifying an appropriate design, creating a data collection plan, collecting and analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and providing feedback for program improvement. Policy evaluation uses social science research methods to examine policy effects.

3. What is Policy Review /
Evaluation?
 It is a means of determining the
effectiveness and efficiency of
government policies and identifying areas
needing change and improvement.
 is a purposeful, systematic, and careful
collection and analysis of information used
for the purpose of documenting the
effectiveness and impact of programs.

4. To determine whether a social
intervention has produced the
intended result.
Results are not always well
received.
Probably the most difficult type of
research to do well

5. Policy evaluation enables all
participants in the policy process,
including legislators, executives, agency
officials and others, to measure the
degree to which a program has
achieved its goals, assess the effects
and identify any needed changes to a
policy.

6. Policy Evaluation uses social
science research methods,
including qualitative and
quantitative techniques, to
examine the effects of
policies.

7. STANDARDS FOR CONDUCTING
POLICY EVALUATION
1.UTILITY
“Who wants the evaluation results and
for what purpose?”
2. FEASIBILITY
“Are the evaluation procedures
practical, given the time, resources,
and expertise available?”

8. STANDARDS FOR CONDUCTING
POLICY EVALUATION
3. PROPRIETY
“Is the evaluation being conducted in a
fair and ethical way?”
4. ACCURACY
“Are approaches at each step
accurate, given stakeholder needs and
evaluation purpose?”

9. TWO MAIN TYPES OF POLICY
EVALUATION
Formative Evaluation - examines the
operations of the program, usually
for the purpose of improving the
program and assessing its
implementation.

10. TWO MAIN TYPES OF POLICY
EVALUATION
Summative Evaluation - asks
whether the program achieved its
intended goals. It is conducted
for the purpose of documenting
the results of a policy.

11. STEPS IN POLICY EVALUATION
Step 1: Define Purpose and Scope
•Why are you doing the
evaluation?
 program outcomes?
 program improvement?

12. STEPS IN POLICY EVALUATION
Step 2: Specify Evaluation Design
• Status (here and now; snapshot)
• Comparison (group A vs. group B; program A vs.
program B)
• Change (what happened as a result of a program;
what
differences are there between time A and
time B)
• Longitudinal (what happens over extended time)

13. STEPS IN POLICY EVALUATION
Step 3: Create a Data Collection Action Plan
•How to be Collected?
Instrumentation
• Surveys
• published instrument
• focus group
• observations

14. STEPS IN POLICY EVALUATION
Step 4: Collect Data
•How much data do you need?
– 100% of target audience is ideal; may
be too expensive and time consuming

15. STEPS IN POLICY EVALUATION
Step 4: Collect Data

16. STEPS IN POLICY EVALUATION
Step 5: Analyze Data
•Data collected during policy evaluation are compiled and analyzed

17. STEPS IN POLICY EVALUATION
Step 6: Drawing Conclusions and Documenting
Findings
• Examine results carefully and
objectively
• Draw conclusions based on your data
• What do the results signify about your
program?

18. STEPS IN POLICY EVALUATION
Step 7: Feedback to Program Improvement
•You can use evaluation findings to
make program improvements
– Consider adjustments
– Re-examine/revise program strategies
– Change programs or methodologies
– Increase time with the program

19. CONCLUSION
Evaluation helps you:
• determine the effects of the program on
recipients
• know if you have reached your
objectives
• improve your program
