Evaluation and Policy Development

Evaluation and policy development refer to the processes used to assess and improve public policies. Evaluation involves systematically reviewing policies or programs to determine their effectiveness, efficiency, and impact on society. This helps identify what works, what doesn’t, and why. Policy development is the process of creating new policies or revising existing ones based on evidence from evaluations, research, stakeholder feedback, and societal needs. Together, these processes ensure that policies are informed, relevant, and capable of addressing issues faced by communities, ultimately leading to better decision-making and improved outcomes for the public.
