The Politics of Evaluation With Privatized Programs

Abstract

Using as a case study the evaluation of a drunk drivers treatment program, the author describes the political roles and actions she took to plan the evaluation and disseminate the results. This case is representative of situations to which evaluators will be exposed as privatization of service delivery increases and authority for and ownership of such programs becomes more decentral ized and diffuse. The evaluator must take an active role in identifying the needs, perspectives, and potential authority and influence of each audience and must be prepared to encourage audiences to address new issues where gaps in accountability have emerged.
