These indicators of progress can be viewed in the ETF evaluation strategy published in 2022 here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-evaluation-task-force-strategy-2022-2025" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-evaluation-task-force-strategy-2022-2025</a></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The indicators are not wholly controlled or ‘owned’ by the ETF. Driving progress towards the targets outlined in the ETF strategy are dependent on cross-government partners working together to build an improved evaluation ecosystem which creates more and higher quality evaluation in government.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The PQ references two indicators:</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>1.4 Proportion of Evaluation Accelerator Fund projects on track (RAG rated 'Green')</p><p>1.6 Proportion of ETF priority projects with robust evaluation plans (cumulative)</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The ETF Output and Outcome Indicators (March 2024) report has also published its Technical Annex alongside the main report. This details the number of projects rated Red, Amber and Green across these portfolios and provides a detailed explanation of how these ratings were assessed. This is summarised in the background section below.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Departments and What Works Centres who lead either EAF or priority projects understand they are part of the ETF’s broader portfolio of work and that although regular indicators of evaluation progress in government are published, there have been no plans to publish the details of specific projects as part of the reporting.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The ETF has established good working relationships with departments who (particularly within the context of EAF and priority projects) are delivering complex evaluations in high profile policy areas. The departments openly share their work with the ETF and this transparency has enabled the ETF to provide high quality advice and support to teams. Using the information provided to the ETF to specifically publicly name projects, separately from other projects, risks damaging this important working relationship.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The ETF instead has been working to ensure transparency on a larger more sustainable scale, for all projects not just ETF priority areas. The Cabinet Office and the ETF will soon be publicly launching the Government Evaluation Registry. The Registry will bring together all planned, live and completed evaluations from Government Departments in a single accessible location, providing an invaluable tool for understanding “what works” in Government. Due to the importance of transparency and improving evaluation across Departments, the Government has decided to make use of the Registry mandatory. As such, Departments and What Works Centres responsible for EAF funded and priority projects will publish plans and findings on the Registry in due course. This will then be available to the public, along with the plans and reports for the rest of the department’s portfolio.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 19/04/2024 10:48:26 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
