Health policy evaluation is often seen as a purely technical exercise in data collection and analysis. This chapter will demonstrate that health policy evaluation can be understood better as a component of the wider policy process. It explores the main theoretical lenses for understanding policy-making, locates evaluation within each, and discusses how different policy contexts and interests shape evaluation. The final section considers the role of policy “pilots” since these are where the processes of policy-making and evaluation are expected to work most closely with one another.

摘要

Health policy evaluation is often seen as a purely technical exercise in data collection and analysis. This chapter will demonstrate that health policy evaluation can be understood better as a component of the wider policy process. It explores the main theoretical lenses for understanding policy-making, locates evaluation within each, and discusses how different policy contexts and interests shape evaluation. The final section considers the role of policy “pilots” since these are where the processes of policy-making and evaluation are expected to work most closely with one another.
