Welcome
Welcome to Evaluation.gov, the home for Federal program evaluation and the Evaluation Officer Council. Evaluation.gov brings together the plans and activities that drive evaluation efforts across the Federal Government.
Learning Agenda Questions Dashboard
Explore the dashboard to view the full range of questions included in Agency and Cross-government Learning Agendas. Sort and filter the questions by topic and agency, or search by keyword, to explore where evidence is most needed and discover shared areas of inquiry across the government.
Our Vision
Evaluation plays a critical role in evidence-based policymaking, helping agencies determine what is and is not working well and answer questions regarding why, for whom, and under what circumstances. Evaluation.gov provides a central home to learn about the Federal evaluation community and the activities it undertakes.
The Federal Evaluation Toolkit
The Federal Evaluation Toolkit offers curated resources on evaluation - what it is, why it is important, and how it can help agencies execute their missions more effectively. It’s designed for staff at all levels who work with evaluators, need to learn more about evaluation, or want to use evaluation findings to inform decisions.
