| Abstract: The Built-In Evaluation Framework (BIEF) is a form of organizational development that facilitates monitoring and reporting on program effectiveness, and prepares programs for evaluation. Unlike models that attempt to reconfigure the organization to conform to their framework, the BIEF integrates into the organization's current Management Information System, without causing undue strain on current structure or systems. Use of this model has two primary functions (1) it offers managers an efficient, cost-effective method of monitoring and reporting the progress of new and ongoing programs, and (2) it prepares the organization for evaluations by external evaluators. |
