Abstract

The goal of this paper is to examine the significance and functions of the policy evaluation conducted by NPOs. Chances for NPO to participate in the policy process are increasing with public budget pressures and a wave of civic participation. NPOs are being sought not just in policy implementation, but in all phases from proposal to evaluation.Using NPOs in external evaluation has been debated as a way to solve issues with internal assessment,including ensuring administrative transparency and evaluation objectivity, as well as the specialization of the evaluation. This paper makes the significance and functions of NPO evaluation clean as a political mechanism in regional management. This shift will encourage the move from administration-led regional management to regional management by civic participation.NPO accountability may be examined from two perspectives: one based on the evaluation process and the other on the system, organization, and activity patterns of the given NPO. In both cases, factors such as the aggressiveness (or lack thereof) or activeness (or lack thereof) of involvement and stance will determine the contents, nature, importance, and degree of accountability.Diverse accountability exists for NPOs involved in policy evaluation. Taking on diverse accountability (the object, contents, and nature of which vary) allows the validity of NPO involvement in policy evaluation to be guaranteed and the rationality of the result of that involvement to be secured.
