Many programs struggle with evaluation due to unclear goals and poor data. Evaluation readiness offers a structured approach to improve program planning and management by defining programs and data inventories.

Area of Science:

Program Evaluation
Public Administration
Management Science

Background:

Program evaluability is often limited by intrinsic factors like ambiguous objectives, undefined performance measures, and unreliable data.
Existing evaluation planning methods face constraints in overcoming these challenges and ensuring full preparedness for evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce the concept of evaluation readiness as a complementary approach to existing evaluation planning methods.
Describe the core components of evaluation readiness: formal program definition and data inventory framework.
Provide guidance for enhancing timely and appropriate evaluation response capabilities to support program managers' decision-making needs.

Main Methods:

Conceptual development of evaluation readiness.
