چکیده:
The present writing utilizes an institutional approach to design a public policy evaluation system in Iran. Given the distribution of evaluation roles across various institutions and the necessity of a systemic view for the coherence of evaluative activities, this article first addresses the formulation of an institutional model as the conceptual basis for designing the policy evaluation system. Subsequently, based on that, it proposes appropriate methods and models for each institution and determines the roles and responsibilities of the evaluation system. The institutional model is multi-approach and multi-methodological, using four components—evaluation objectives, legal duties, policy domain, and organizational characteristics—as criteria for selecting the evaluation model. Thus, in the proposed policy evaluation system, the President's Deputy for Planning and Strategic Oversight uses management information system models, accountability with an emphasis on result-orientedness, and social system auditing; the Parliament Research Center uses cost-benefit analysis, decision-theoretic, goal-oriented, experimental, and case study models; the Supreme Audit Court uses cost-benefit analysis models; and the Expediency Discernment Council uses legal monitoring and critique and expertise models to perform its duties. Additionally, the need to obtain feedback from non-governmental sources and the necessity of strengthening private institutions for independent and public evaluations are addressed. In this system, the Expediency Discernment Council is the custodian of general policy evaluation, the Deputy for Planning and Strategic Oversight is the custodian of executive and operational policies, and the Islamic Consultative Assembly is the custodian of legislative policy evaluation.
خلاصه ماشینی:
" Supervision before implementation by the Council mainly includes ensuring the compliance of the development plan articles and the annual budget bills with the general policies during the stages of drafting the bill by the government, its review in the commissions of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, its approval in the plenary session of the Parliament, and its confirmation by the Guardian Council.
In addition, the organization is linked to policy evaluation from three aspects: 1) auditing development plans implemented by institutions under public ownership; 2) performing auditing and case-by-case financial services referred to it by the Minister of Economy and Finance; 3) being the authority for preparing accounting and auditing principles and regulations in the country.
Annually, the Court of Audit engages in auditing the performance of the government and submits two budget discharge reports to the Islamic Consultative Assembly; therefore, this process involves the Leader, the advisors of the Expediency Discernment Council, the executive branch, and the legislative branch in policymaking and implementation; thus, policy evaluation, as the review of the feedback of policy implementation, must be able to cover various layers of policymaking and provide the necessary information and evidence for every level.
