and Evaluation
The Evaluation Division administers outcome evaluations for the Bureau
of Educational and Cultural Affairs to assess the impact of Bureau programs
and services. In essence, we attempt to answer the "So what?"
question posed by the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA).
Findings from evaluations are used to improve the efficiency and enhance
the effectiveness of bureau programs and services. By publicizing the
evaluation results, we strive to demonstrate program accountability while
informing the public about these programs.
We generally contract independent evaluators to design evaluations, collect,
measure and analyze qualitative and quantitative data, and report findings.
We develop all projects in close consultation with the relevant bureau
program offices, public diplomacy offices, U.S. embassies, and non-profit
partner organizations.
