Target Audience: Leaders and managers in criminal justice, juvenile justice, and human services Increasingly, policy-makers, funding agencies, and the general public are demanding greater accountability from justice system institutions and human service providers. At the same time, tough economic times and declining resources have made it even more important for wise decisions to be made about how resources will be secured and utilized, and programs will be funded, evaluated, and sustained. Virtually all public, private, and non-profit agencies have been feeling the effects of these trends, and many struggle to engage in effective planning and provide meaningful information about the work they do as they pursue funding and other resources to support their programs. In order to succeed in a climate of accountability and declining resources, and to fund and sustain programs in spite of serious economic difficulties, strategic planning and evaluation have become essential within the criminal and juvenile justice systems and across human service providers.
