Dear colleagues,
I’m conducting a study that is intended to identify determinants of evaluation use in evaluation systems embedded in public and non-profit sectors. I’m planning to conduct a survey on a representative sample of organizations that systematically evaluate the effects of their programs and other actions in Austria, Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands. And here comes my request: can anyone of you, familiar with evaluation practice in these countries, suggest what types of organizations I should include in my sample? Are there any country-specific organizations active in the evaluation field that I should not omit?
It is obvious to me that in all these countries evaluation is present in central and local government (ministries, municipalities, etc.) as well as institutions funding research or development agencies, but I also suspect that there might be some country-specific, less obvious types of organisations which are important “evaluation players”.
Thanks for any hints.
Policy evaluation is typically done by consultants. I’m partially based in a consultancy firm and we do several policy evaluations every year, particularly of EU policy. I even use QCA for the evaluations whenever possible.
Austria is conducting such an evalutation through the AUVA. You can contact, and use my name :
