Conceptual framework for evaluation of public policy

Abstract

The evaluation development is caused by the problems and challenges that arose before the public administration in different periods. Several waves of development of evaluation of public policy may be regarded in the context of different concepts - policy analysis, results-oriented-management and good governance. This paper explores evaluation conceptual framework from different angles: as a constituent of public policy analysis, as a part of results-oriented management, and in the context of good governance. These concepts explain historical shift in evaluation focus and it’s role.
