我国社会服务项目的鉴定性评估及其国际视野下的反思

Accreditation of Social Service Program:Current Situation in China and Its Reflection from an International Perspective

自从我国确立社会主义和谐社会的建设目标、提出改进政府公共服务供给方式的要求以来,我国社会服务高速发展,其评估问题愈益引起重视。不同于国际社会服务项目的评估实践,我国当前的主流评估方式是鉴定性评估。在从国际视野分析鉴定性评估在评估发展中的地位以及当前国际项目评估经验性和循证性特征的基础上,提出在继续借鉴鉴定性评估方式加强社会服务项目的准入性管理的同时,当前尤其要加大对项目生命周期的循证性评估,提升评估在社会服务项目成效评价中的作用。

Since setting the goal of building a socialist harmonious society and the central government’s request to improve public services provision,social services in China have developed rapidly,and their evaluation issues have also attracted more and more attention.Different from the evaluation practice of international social service programs,the current mainstream evaluation method in China is accreditation.On the basis of review on the status of accreditation in the evaluation,as well as the empirical and evidence-based characteristics of current international program evaluation from an international perspective,this article proposes to strengthen the access management of social service programs by means of accreditation of its subject,promote the evidence-based evaluation on the whole program life course,and enhance its role in the evaluation of the effectiveness of social service programs.
