This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past two decades, evaluation has come to play an increasingly important role in the operation of educational and social programs by national, state, and local agencies. Mandates by federal funding agencies that programs they sponsored be evaluated gave impetus to use of evaluation. Realization that evaluation plays a pivotal role in assuring program quality and effectiveness has maintained the use of evaluation even where mandates have been relaxed. With increased use --indeed institutionalization --of evaluation in many community, state, and national agencies, evaluation has matured as a profession, and new evaluation approaches have been developed to aid in program planning, implementation, monitoring, and improvement. Much has been written about various philosophical and theoretical orientations to evaluation, its relationship to program management, appropriate roles evaluation might play, new and sometimes esoteric evaluation methods, and particular evaluation techniques. Useful as these writings are, relatively little has been written about simple but enormously important activities which comprise much of the day-to-day work of the program evaluator. This book is focused on some of these more practical aspects that largely determine the extent to which evaluation will prove helpful.
Download or read book Technical Assistance Evaluation Program Findings of Evaluations and Updated Program Evaluation of the Technical Assistance Subaccount for Iraq written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2008-04-04 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key Messages • The Iraq Subaccount is a good example of donor coordination as expressed in the Paris Declaration. • Overall, the TAs funded from the Iraq TA Subaccount were successful, relevant, efficient and effective. • Ensuring long-term sustainability requires maintaining an adequate the level of TA activity in the future. • There were instances where more pro-active donor coordination was needed to build synergies to achieve development results. • While the offsite modality was fairly effective and cost efficient and delivered value for money, the limits of this model will be stretched as IMF moves from policy and operational advice and training to greater emphasis on supporting the implementation of policies and procedures. • The Fund’s internal monitoring needs to be strengthened, particularly the TA Information Management System. Reforms in this area are on track, supported by Fund management, and improvements are expected by 1 May 2008. • The Fund’s TA evaluation framework needs to be strengthened by instituting a system of self assessments of all completed TAs and developing guidelines for the ex-post evaluation of TAs. Work in these areas is planned. • The Fund delivered slightly more internally funded TA to Iraq than originally planned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph examines selected issues in the design and conduct of program and project evaluation in developing countries, with a focus on the evaluation of international technical assistance programs. Chapter 1 introduces the evolving role of efficiency criteria in the evaluation of educational systems. Chapter 2 provides detail on the nature of internal efficiency, its operationalization, and the special efficiency issues that exist in the developing world. The major constraints on educational efficiency enhancement efforts in developing nations are also discussed. The third chapter discusses the nature of the evaluation process (as distinct from research), stressing the meaning of evaluation in terms of context and timing and the crucial role of the evaluator. Chapter 4 examines the critical role of criteria, standards, and indicators in designing and conducting evaluation studies. The special problems of developing and applying evaluation criteria within the international technical assistance system are also discussed. Chapter 5 discusses basic procedural steps common to all evaluations, and chapter 6 focuses on the evaluation issues that are most problematic in enhancing efficiency in educational assistance programs in developing nations. The final chapter offers a summary and recommendations. (Contains 101 references.) (LMI).

Statistics Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2009-02-23 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation of technical assistance (TA) in statistics covers two post-conflict countries, namely, Mozambique and Rwanda during the period 2000–08. The TA, including training, covered the broad spectrum of the Statistics Department’s (STA) program, including collaboration with the East Africa Regional Technical Assistance Center (East AFRITAC), the U. K. Department for International Development (DFID), and the Japanese-funded General Data Dissemination System (GDDS) projects, as well as TA funded directly from the IMF’s budget. The emerging lessons also provide a useful guide to future TA to non-English-speaking countries. The evaluation is based on missions to each country and relied on responses to questionnaires, desk reviews of available data, and discussions with country authorities, donors, data users, and national officials who participated in IMF courses in statistics.
