Very interesting article from the latest edition of the newsletter of the European Evaluation Society “Evaluation between evidence‑based policy and “fake news”: paths to the future” (p. 3).
The article presents the reasons why there has been a global rise in evaluations and four future challenges, summarised here:
Why the global rise of evaluation:
1) In many countries, evaluation is a fixed element in policy-shaping and a management control element
2) The number of national evaluation societies has grown
3) Market for evaluation is continuing to grow
4) The dissemination of evaluation findings has surged
5) Training activities have increased
Future challenges for evaluation:
1) Increasing importance of global issues
2) The challenge of populist movements and “fake news” to evidence-based policy
3) Need for reflexive systems-thinking approaches
4) Increasing demand for participatory evaluation
