In: New directions for evaluation: a publication of the American Evaluation Association, Band 2006, Heft 112, S. 89-97

Abstract

AbstractPerformance measurement can benefit evaluation by clarifying policy intent, program goals, and performance expectations and by facilitating systematic data collection. Because policymakers tend to support performance measurement for accountability purposes, linking performance measurement to evaluation has the potential of increasing evaluation use among policymakers.
