The W. K. Kellogg Foundation's Devolution Initiative: An experiment in evaluating strategy
When Congress passed and President Bill Clinton signed a major welfare reform law in 1996, there were significant concerns across the public policy spectrum about how it would be implemented and how it would affect poor families, in part because the law shifted much responsibility for decision making from the federal government to state and local officials, a process called “devolution.” The Kellogg Foundation was one of the concerned parties, and, as a result, it launched the Devolution Initiative to learn about the changes taking place and mobilize responses to the reform as its implications unfolded. The author revisits the Foundation's Devolution Initiative and its external evaluation from the perspective of evaluation as a strategic intervention. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc., and the American Evaluation Association.
