Description
Program Evaluation by John M. Owen provides a clear and practical overview of the evaluation process for both beginners and experienced practitioners. It offers a conceptual yet straightforward approach to identifying appropriate forms, approaches, and methods, using an original framework. The book examines the contributions of evaluation to program provision and offers proven techniques for involving stakeholders in the planning process and disseminating evaluation findings. This third edition has been thoroughly revised to incorporate recent research on evaluation and new examples of good practice, including sections on management of evaluation, negotiating evaluation plans, program logic, ex ante evaluation, evidence-based practice, performance management, and accountability. Suitable for those involved in policy and program development and delivery, Program Evaluation helps practitioners plan more carefully, reflect more critically, and justify their decisions.
