A Dynamic Model for Public Policy Evaluation (As evidence: Development Plans)

Abstract

Five development plans evaluation experiences shows that the used models and methods have not been effective, efficient and unable to give suitable and timely feedback to policy makers. However, current evaluation system give some feedback, but this feedback not accurate and timely. In recent years, public policy evaluation with causal relationships and feedback structures attract public policy scientists. This paper used system dynamics approach to present the evaluation model based on feedback loops. Research data collected through exploratory interviews with experts, then using qualitative content analysis to analyze data. When variables and their relationships identify, the feedback loops designed and combined to design evaluation model by causal loop diagram. This model create feedback loops between leadership, resources, processes and results. Feedback structure helps to better understanding causes of goals not meeting and formulation solutions for effective implementation.
