Abstract

This article presents an approach to ongoing internal evaluation in a children’s mental health agency. Some examples of evaluation activities that have taken place are given. Program evaluation is integrated into the management functions of the agency and assists managers to plan, implement, and determine the efficiency and effectiveness of programs. The quality of decision-making is enhanced through a systematic approach to program evaluation.
