Our Vision
Evaluation plays a critical role in evidence-based policymaking, helping agencies determine what is and is not working well and answer questions regarding why, for whom, and under what circumstances. Evaluation.gov provides a central home to learn about the Federal evaluation community and the activities it undertakes.
Evaluation Officer Council
The Evaluation Officer Council is comprised of the Evaluation Officers designated by the 24 CFO Act agencies. It provides a forum to exchange information, consult with and advise OMB on issues that affect evaluation functions, coordinate and collaborate on areas of common interest including Evidence Act implementation, and serve in a leadership role for the broader Federal evaluation community.
