Program Evaluation: Some Agencies Reported that Networking, Hiring, and Involving Program Staff Help Build Capacity : Government Accountability Office (GAO) , October , 2014
From the report: "In a governmentwide survey of agency Performance Improvement Officers (PIO), GAO found uneven levels of evaluation expertise, organizational support within and outside the organization, and use across the government. The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) is a key component of the enabling environment for federal evaluation capacity, having established a solid foundation of agency performance reporting and leadership commitment to using evidence in decision making. However, only half the agencies reported congressional interest in or requests for program evaluation studies."
