Summary
Governments pursue public management reform policies to achieve certain goals. Such goals usually reflect the wish to improve some aspect of the performance of public bodies or the public sector as a whole. Given the emphasis on performance and result assessment in recent reforms in many member countries, it is natural that the reform programmes themselves should also be evaluated. In the past few years, the Public Management Committee (PUMA) has often stressed in its publications the importance of evaluation to public management reforms. It has pointed out that evaluation is important for the successful implementation and for the sustainability of reforms.
