Abstract
With the shift towards new public governance, professionals' and citizens' experiences and knowledge are placed at the heart of public service design, implementation, and evaluation. There are thus beginning indications that the dominant evaluation and governance logic, including the notion that welfare services should be evidence-based and that the quality of public services is best secured using key performance indicators, are in the process of being challenged. Four waves of evaluation have diffused between 1965 and 2010, and a great deal suggests that new public governance, with co-production as the dominant organizational recipe, is carrying a new, fifth evaluation wave with it. The aim of this chapter is to provide a sober but tentative explanation of the content of this fifth evaluation wave. The description of the fifth wave evaluation is structured in respect to “informed evaluation,” which covers reflections on the evaluation domain, knowledge, values, and usage.
