To assist agency efforts to provide credible information, GAO examined the experiences of five agencies that demonstrated evaluation capacity in their performance reports: the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), the Coast Guard, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the National Science Foundation (NSF). https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-454/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-454.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-454/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-454.pdf GAO-03-454 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-454 Other Written Product GAO-03-454; Program Evaluation: An Evaluation Culture and Collaborative Partnerships Help Build Agency Capacity; Agency evaluation Evaluation criteria Evaluation methods Internal controls Program evaluation Performance measures
