Institutionalising the evaluation function: A South African study of impartiality, use and cost

Evaluation and Program Planning, 2019, vol. 75, issue C, 38-42

Abstract: This article explores the implications of outsourcing the evaluation function in South Africa, a context where there is a mismatch between evaluation supply and demand. It unpacks the tradeoffs between internal and external evaluation, and challenges some commonly held assumptions about both.
