Understanding the Evaluation of Public Policy. Evaluation of the Romanian National Anti-Drug Strategy

Résumé

International organizations (public and private) seek to find standard procedures to evaluate public policy or programs in order to have a common measure for public policy effectiveness and efficiency. The national governments, with the aid of the subordinated entities, are quite much interested in developing frames for the design of the evaluation of public policy in general and of public policy in specific fields, in particular. After having reviewed some models of evaluation, we will analyze the case of Romania and we will see that this country doesn’t have a working conceptual frame for the evaluation of the public policy in the anti-drug area.
