有一个越来越多的呼吁评价能力建设(ECB),虽然该地区目前缺乏一个丰富的研究基础,有几个强大的方法和实践,通过它来定义it.The在这篇文章中的论点是,评估的影响是介导的程序利益相关者的参与评估活动。这种调解为考虑欧洲中央银行的优点提供了基础。本研究试图找到确认利益相关者参与评价可以影响一个程序的结果,从而随后提供证据的优点和重要性的评价参与。为两项长期公共卫生评价收集了多种形式的评价数据,并与社区密切协商,根据循证标准再次进行编码和整理。还调查了利益攸关方参与评价活动的意愿和能力的影响。分析表明,利益攸关方参与评价为总体方案成果提供了合理的独特贡献。这篇文章为基于评价的能力建设提供了动力,因为它提出了经验证据,表明参与评价活动的意愿和能力以及评价信息的使用增加了实现预期成果和可持续性的可能性。
There is a growing call for evaluation capacity building (ECB); although the area currently lacks a rich research base, there are few robust methods and practice through which to define it. The argument in this article is that the impact of evaluation is mediated by program stakeholders’ engagement in evaluation activities. This mediation provides a foundation for a consideration of the merit of ECB. This study sought to find confirmation that stakeholder engagement in evaluation could influence the outcomes of a program and thus subsequently provide evidence as to the merit and significance of evaluation engagement. Multiple forms of evaluation data were collected for two long-term public health evaluations and coded and collated again on an evidence-based rubric in close consultation with the community. The influence of stakeholder’s willingness and capacity to engage in evaluation activity was also investigated. The analysis revealed that stakeholders’ engagement in evaluations provided reasonably unique contributions to the overall program outcomes. This article provides the impetus for evaluation-based capacity building, in that it presents empirical evidence that willingness, capacity to engage in evaluation activities, and the use of evaluation information increases the probability of achieving desired outcomes and sustainability.
