EVALUATION IN THE DEPARTMENT
OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY
Background
DTI 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.
The
Department's evaluation programme is co-ordinated by the Strategy
Unit's Performance and Evaluation Team. The team helps ensure that robust evidence is gathered to measure
the effects of the department's activities. This evidence is fed
to the DTI Performance Committee which overseas performance
measurement in the Department and to senior administrators to
inform future strategy.
Economists and researchers working directly in the area concerned
manage evaluations of other parts of the DTI. The Science and
Technology programmes and Employment Relations Directorate also
have their own dedicated websites; please use the following links
to visit them.
