Program Evaluation and Performance Measurement

An Introduction to Practice

About this book

Program Evaluation and Performance Measurement offers a conceptual and practical introduction to program evaluation and performance measurement for public and non-profit organizations. The authors cover the performance management cycle in organizations, which includes: strategic planning and resource allocation; program and policy design; implementation and management; and the assessment and reporting of results.

The Third Edition has been revised to highlight the current economic, political, and socio-demographic context within which evaluators are expected to work, and includes dynamic public policy exemplars such as the evaluation of body-worn police cameras.  

"Finally, a text that successfully brings together quantitative and qualitative methods for program evaluation."  
  
–Kerry Freedman, Northern Illinois University
