Data Collection and Sharing for Program Evaluation and Performance Measurement

Jurisdictions need reliable data to evaluate the effectiveness of programming and implement evidence-based practice.  Data collection systems must be accessible and produce data for performance measurement in order to determine whether sought outcomes are achieved.  This in turn reinforces the use of evidence-based practices and builds additional accountability into service systems.  Jurisdictions may develop various products -- including program evaluation designs, data collection systems, performance measurement systems, data security procedures, and data sharing agreements – to support this work.
