International Perspectives on Evaluation Standards: New Directions for Evaluation, No. 104 |
| J-B PE Single Issue (Program) Evaluation |
| Editor: Craig Russon; Editor: Gabrielle Russon |
| Prior to 1995, there were fewer than half a dozen regional and national evaluation organizations around the world. Today there are more than fifty, attesting to a growing interest in the practice of program evaluation internationally. Many of these new organizations have undertaken efforts to develop their own standards or to modify existing sets--most typically, the Program Evaluation Standards of the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation--for use in their own cultural context. Following two introductory chapters, one a conceptual overview and the second a history of the development and revisions of the Program Evaluation Standards, this issue documents standards development efforts in three different settings: Western Europe, Africa, and Australasia. In addition, because nongovernmental organizations and governments have entered the standard-setting business, other chapters describe standards development activities by the European Commission and CARE International. The content points to the challenge of formalizing standards for program evaluation given cross-cultural differences in values and to the continuing challenges related to implementing voluntary standards. This is the 104th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Evaluation.
