Conducting evaluations of programs that are useful to decision makers is the hallmark of successful evaluation. Appropriate program implementation and operation are critical to this work. A strategy that can be used to determine the extent to which a program is ready for full evaluation, is known as evaluability assessment. Initially developed by Wholey (1979), evaluability assessment (EA) seeks to gain information from important documents and input from stakeholders concerning the content and objectives of the program. Outcomes from EA include clear objectives, performance indicators, and options for program improvement. Wholey (1979) recommended EA as an initial step to evaluating programs, increasing the likelihood that evaluations will provide timely, relevant, and responsive evaluation findings for decision makers.
