Evaluation of BIS's activities

The Department's evaluation programme is co-ordinated by the Regulation, Appraisal and Evaluation Team, which helps ensure that robust evidence is gathered to measure the effects of the department's activities.

BIS has a well-established system of evaluation where activities to be evaluated are identified on an annual basis. The bulk of evaluation work is conducted by external contractors, although the Department does have some dedicated evaluation staff. 

Economists and researchers working directly in the area concerned manage evaluations of other parts of BIS.
