What should evaluation learn from COP 26? Views of evaluation practitioners
Leading evaluation practitioners were asked about lessons from the recent 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) for evaluation practice. Contributors emphasize the importance of evaluating equity between rich and poor countries and other forms of climate injustice. The role of the evaluation is questioned: what can evaluation be expected to do on its own and what requires collaboration across disciplines, professions and civil society – and acro…
Public-Interest Values and Program Sustainability
Evaluating the longer-term sustainability of government programs and policies seems in many ways to go beyond the boundaries of typical evaluation practice. Not only have intervention failures over time been difficult to predict, but the question of sustainability itself tends to fall outside current evaluation thinking, timing and functions. This article is an effort to find some unifying concept that would allow evaluators to encompass the issu…
Remembering Carol Weiss
Balancing Evaluation Theory and Practice in the Real World
In this paper, the author argues that evaluation theory and practice interact insufficiently today, even though early evaluation theorists expected them to be closely intertwined. She views this limited connection as the result of differing interests on the part of theorists and practitioners, differing frequencies of dissemination, and differing targets of opportunity, with theorists concentrating often on methodological processes internal to ev…

What evaluation could do to support foundations
What Evaluation Could Do to Support Foundations
Grant-giving foundations are being created these days in record numbers, and there is fairly widespread agreement that evaluation can be a powerful tool for helping them achieve and justify their aims. However, if one looks across foundations at the current status of both their visions for evaluation and their capacity to evaluate, it seems that in many cases evaluative development is only in its initial stages. This article presents a particular…
Purposes and Use
In Volume 3 (1) we published a keynote speech delivered by Eleanor Chelimsky at the December 1996 Conference of the UK Evaluation Society. Hellmut Eggers, an active member of the evaluation community in Europe, wrote to partly challenge some of Eleanor Chelimsky's arguments. Dr Eggers is no stranger to the problems of making evaluations purposeful and useful: he was for many years responsible for evaluation within the General Development Director…
The Role of Experience in Formulating Theories of Evaluation Practice
Although it is widely believed that evaluation theory is practice-based, it is rare to see any systematic examination of the fit between the two. This address, given at AEA’s most recent meeting in San Diego, uses a data base of about 300 published evaluations to compare some of the lessons learned in recent practice against some of our more hallowed theoretical precepts
The role of experience in formulating theories of evaluation practice
Building the Policy Studies Enterprise
Policy studies has been one of the most dynamic parts of the social sciences over the past several decades. There has been substantial growth in the literature, the number of courses, the number of professionals who identify themselves with the field, and, arguably, in the impact on public sector and programs. The studies field is an eclectic one, claimed by public administrators, political scientists, economists, sociologists, psychologists, edu…
Evaluation for the 21st Century
Thoughts for a New Evaluation Society
Politics, Policy and Research Synthesis
Speeches and Addresses is an occasional feature, not in article format, in which presentations at conferences and other public gatherings are seen as likely to be of interest to a wider audience. Sometimes these speeches and addresses will undoubtedly be contentious, in which case responses and counter-arguments are to be expected and are welcome. Contributions to this section are intended to make accessible relevant material for academic, policy…
Plenary Address of the 1988 Canadian Program Evaluation Conference
It gives me great pleasure to be here with you this morning to talk about evaluation and, especially, to have the opportunity to do so in French. It brings back memories of my studies in Paris, of course. Unfortunately, that was a long time ago, and I shall have to ask for your forgiveness for the errors that I am bound to make

Program Evaluation and Appropriate Governmental Change
Examining the potential and the limitations of evaluation, this article envisions an essential role for evaluation in achieving appropriate governmental change. That role is a deliberate one that seeks to improve the basis for policymaking, rather than to influence the direction of policy. Evaluation can do this by bringing objective information to bear on whether a proposed change—in any policy direction—is likely to reach its goals. Current lim…
