In 2019, the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development refined the set of evaluation criteria for development projects and programs. The six evaluation criteria are (a) relevance (Is the intervention doing the right things?); (b) coherence (How well does the intervention fit?); (c) effectiveness (Is the intervention achieving its objectives?); (d) efficiency (How well are resources being used?); (e) impact (What difference does the intervention make?); and (f) sustainability (Will the benefits last?). The OECD-DAC criteria (rather than the "models" this query alludes to) are eminently appropriate to measure the effectiveness of public programs (and are used as a matter of routine to evaluate development projects and programs around the world).

You can utilize Stufflebeam's CIPP evaluation model, it is a program evaluation method that does in terms of four key criteria i.e. content, input, process and product .

For more details, please see Stufflebeam, Daniel L. "The relevance of the CIPP evaluation model for educational accountability." (1971).

In measuring the effectiveness of public programs I have found in practice, some valuable additional inputs:

- degree of relevance of the program/project from the beneficiaries/affected point of view

- degree of comprehensiveness of the program

- beneficiaries perception of program effectiveness

- differentiation of results, effects, impacts (against program objectives)

Добрый день. Только взаимодействие административныз структур с обществом. Только общество должно контролировать административные структуры. Только действия права, сформированное обществом могут увеличить эффективность государственной политики.

I appreciate Olivier mentioning the OECD's six evaluation criteria as the general FIRST step in an evaluation. However, this is only a general FIRST step. It does not answer the questions about the procedures of evaluation systems to assure independence, professionalism and legal oversight. Not does it answer the questions of what the measures are for each of the criteria for specific types of programs and sectors, professionally and under law. Nor does it describe the professional techniques that are used in managerial accounting for generating professional indicator measures for areas and sectors when specific indicators do not exist or when there are claims that none can be created (which is a fallacy; in most cases they can be created, using established techniques). Evaluations that do not follow these steps are professionally irresponsible and in some cases are whitewashes. In public policy, generally, one needs to start with problem trees that focus on root causes (NOT symptoms) and behaviors to change and how to have impact on these using benchmarks through cost-benefit approaches. It is important to also ask whether these interventions that seek to change behaviors meet all of the requirements for cultural and individual rights protections under law (many do not and do not screen for this). In writing laws, I highly recommend the book by Robert and Anne Seidman on Legislative Drafting for Democratic Social Change and the checklist they offer to assure that a law is enforceable, that there are appropriate incentives, and that it addresses the real problem and is not just public relations or a short-term approach. If you are seeking guidance on evaluation systems, on international development interventions, capacity building, poverty alleviation, sustainable development, rights and other sectors that are said to be too difficult to measure, and for which you need to consider long-term solutions and not just quick-fix transfer of a resource, I direct you to the 15+ indicators that I have published that you can find easily on line. If you are seeking to create an indicator in a new area, you can follow the procedures that I have used to assure legal accountability and professionalism. If you are just getting started in the field, I recommend reading a basic textbook on "Managerial Accounting".

To measure effectiveness of delivery of services of public programs, one of the best model to apply is the classic victor vroom theory and anderson theory where it talks about expectancy principles and the importance of building and promoting a good relation and considering more the benefit of each between employer and employee and its client.

We really must identify the benefits for these actors, but a public entity must have its results focused on society.

I agree with Olivier Serrat. A researcher can use the mentioned evaluation criteria to measure the effectiveness. I have already used them in one of my papers.

Thanks to everyone for contributing their answers.

Thank Ahmed!!

Good Answer!

You can use CIPP model to evaluate public programmes, CIPP is the systematic approach for evaluating public policy in terms of contents, inputs, products (outputs) and processes, for more details you can visit Preprint Programme Evaluation: An Analysis of Context, Input, Process...

Thank Mohammad!

Can we use OECD six criteria to measure the effectiveness of governmental and non-governmental institutional support to promote women entrepreneurship? if not, please suggest me any other right approach.
