Public Policy Evaluation Questions
The role of monitoring and evaluation in public policy is to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of policies and programs. It involves systematically collecting and analyzing data to determine whether the intended objectives of the policy are being achieved, and if not, to identify areas for improvement. Monitoring and evaluation help policymakers and stakeholders make informed decisions, allocate resources effectively, and ensure accountability and transparency in the policy-making process. Additionally, it helps identify unintended consequences and potential policy gaps, allowing for adjustments and refinements to be made to enhance the overall outcomes of public policies.
