What is "Evaluation"
really about? In general terms, the "Evaluation" belongs to
the broader area of "Social Policy". Going into detail, every
plan of action adopted by a state (i.e. job creation) is usually subjected
to an expert opinion. The aim of the "Evaluator" is to monitor
the decision-making in its practical implementation and try to understand
whether a determined policy can be improved. Since the 1990s different
Evaluation Societies have been created with the aim to achieve a common
theoretical background, improve communication and make the process of
evaluation more "objective". The WWW Virtual Library: Evaluation
was established to facilitate this process creating a world wide access
to information related to this field. For further information see also:
