Abstract
In modern public administration it would be rare to find a sector where evaluation is not an essential ingredient in management. Evaluations feed evidence into the policy debate and may enhance the legitimacy of an organization. Policy makers and managers use evaluations for result-based management and to promote organizational learning. But the success of these efforts would presumably depend on the quality of evaluations?Keywords
