The General Assembly finds: (1) Effective evaluation serves to enhance quality in existing services and programs by: (A) Ensuring accountability for funds and services used; (B) Raising the bar for standards and expectations; and (C) Increasing the use of data to inform program operation and decision making; (2) The general focus of effective evaluation is on programs and services, but effective evaluation can be applied also to individuals, organizations, communities, and societies or cultures; (3) In a state where resources are often scarce, effective and credible evaluation is the heart of a healthy system and is critical to ensure that necessary programs and services are delivered and ineffective programs and practices eliminated; and (4) To help groups accomplish their objectives, empowerment evaluation and other collaborative forms of evaluation are particularly useful in collaborative endeavors that require complex systems and diverse groups.
