8. Introduction to Program Evaluation - Michigan State University
We are in an era of accountability. The demand for program evaluation information is growing. Because the need to support local developmental programs is increasing and the resources are limited, there is an increased competition among agencies. This has resulted in greater expectations for efficiencies and accountability reports of performance for organizations. Elected officials, the media, and the public have become much more demanding about accountability and receiving quality services in return for tax dollars and donations to private foundations. The U.S. Congress, state legislatures, local legislative bodies, foundations, and other funding agencies are increasingly demanding information on how program funds were used and what those programs produced.
