Dr Agnieszka Chłoń-Domińczak Perspectives of using the evaluation in the field of national public funds 5. evaluation Conference Warsaw, 23 October 2009
Potential fields of applying the evaluation in the national policies • Ex-post: • Examination of the efficiency of the existing policies and measures • Evaluation of the efficiency of the functioning of public institutions • Ex-ante • Evaluation of the planned measures and policies • including the assessment of regulation outcomes
Use of indicators for the evaluation • Task budget • Definition of tasks and monitoring indicators for budget expenditure • Definition of programme objectives in form of indicators, e.g.: • Limitation of household poverty threat indicator by x% • Covering a specified percentage of children by pre-school care • Shortening the average period of stay in a hospital by x% • Monitoring of implementation of specific measures/policies: • The number of customers covered by a given programme • Comparison of the efficiency of an institution’s operation: • Average cost of providing a specific service • Proceeding duration of a given case
Evaluation tools • Stored data: • Expenditure/costs • The number of customers using a given programme • Research • Statistical research, including panel ones • Dedicated evaluation research • Models • Micro-simulation models (for ex-ante evaluation in particular)
Example of monitoring programme results: Post-accession Rural Support • Programme under implementation in 500 rural and rural-urban gminas in 13 voivodeships • Objectives: • Increase in the level of social integration • Increase in the use of external funds for financing of social policy • Development of civil society
Example of monitoring programme results: Post-accession Rural Support • Achieved results: • % of gminas applying for external funds, including the EU ones for social programmes: • 2006: 6% • 2007: 8% • 2008: 82% • Share of gminas’ inhabitants in the measure programming: • 15,000 persons at workshop meetings • 5,295 persons in workshop teams • The number of persons using the services under the programme: • 676,726 persons – inhabitants of rural areas • 12,500 villages using the programme • Gminas in which non-government organisations were established: 360
Ex-ante evaluations: influence of the reforms in the field of personal income taxes and premiums– on the basis of SIMPL model Base poverty rate = 18.61%
Ex-ante evaluation: influence of the reforms in the field of personal income taxes and premiums – on the basis of SIMPL modelAnalysed cross-sections: Income decile division persons against base equivalent disposable income of households (base income) Structural division in family categories 1. Single person of working age 2. Person of working age raising a child on their own 3. Marriage of working age with no children 4. Marriage of working age with a child 5. Single pensioner 6. Married pensioners
Ex-ante evaluation: influence of the reforms in the field of personal income taxes and premiums – on the basis of SIMPL model PIT 13: relief amounting to PLN 530.08 PIT 14: relief amounting to PLN 1,060.16 PIT 14_1: relief amounting to PLN 1,060.16 and tax credit of PLN 2,000 PIT14_2: relief amounting to PLN 1,060.16 and tax credit of PLN 1,000 Source: SIMPL – Faculty of Economic Sciences of the University of Warsaw
Problems and challenges in the field of evaluation • No defining of quantity objectives of implementing specific programmes/policies • Limitation of access to information that is necessary for evaluation: • Frequent absence of costs calculation in public institutions • Deficiencyof evaluation tools • Panel research • Micro-simulation models • Preparation of human resources for broad use of evaluation
