Implementation Evaluation
Résumé
As an interdisciplinary academic center for evaluation, one of LIEPP’s goal is to make connections between analytical frameworks developed in the international field of evaluation and those developed in a diversity of academic disciplines. The question of implementation is typically an example of a process which has been the object of very separate theoretical and methodological developments in evaluation on the one hand, and in sociology and political science on the other. On the one hand, reflections have developed in program evaluation around process or implementation assessment
and implementation science, to go beyond a strict focus on impact measurement. These perspectives emerged as a way to complement impact evaluation by a better understanding of how impact is produced. On the other hand, there is an abundant literature in sociology and political science on policy implementation. This body of literature was not developed in an evaluative perspective or driven by a preoccupation with the policy's impact. Yet this body of research, which has developed for decades, offers fruitful lessons about how the workings of implementation function, that can be most useful in an evaluative perspective. Yet the two bodies of literature have remained largely separated.
Drawing from the LIEPP seminar co-organized by LIEPP and the University of Maryland on June 5, 2024, this LIEPP Debates bring together contributions on policy implementation developed in evaluation, sociology and political science, based on the presentation and discussion of the Oxford Handbook of Program Design and Implementation Evaluation1, coordinated by Anu Rangarajan.
