The Handbook has been thoroughly revised. Many new chapters have been prepared for this edition, including chapters on logic modeling and on evaluation applications for small nonprofit organizations.

This important book covers:
- A variety of evaluation designs, including designs for ongoing monitoring of program results and designs for in-depth evaluation of program performance
- Selection of data collection procedures that help evaluators obtain relevant information in an efficient manner
- Methods for analyzing evaluation data
- Steps for increasing the usefulness and actual use of evaluation results by policymakers, managers, their staff members, and other stakeholders in order to improve programs and inform policy decisionmaking
- Selection and training of evaluators, quality control of the enterprise, standards and ethics in evaluation work, the creation of incentives for undertaking program evaluation, and future trends in program evaluation
