Evaluation and Accountability

Evaluation and accountability are processes used to measure how well programs, policies, or organizations are performing. Evaluation involves systematically collecting and analyzing information to determine whether goals are being met and to identify areas for improvement. Accountability means being responsible for outcomes and transparent about performance, ensuring that individuals or organizations answer for their results. Together, they help ensure resources are used effectively, goals are achieved, and stakeholders can trust that efforts are purposeful and impactful.
