Özet
ÖZETDevletler, vatandaşlara ve işletmelere, kamu kaynaklarını kullanarak, çeşitli amaçlar doğrultusunda birçok hizmet sunmaktadır. Sunulan hizmetler kapsamında harcanan kamu kaynaklarının etkili kullanılması gerektiği gibi, aynı zamanda bu kaynaklarının doğru amaçlar uğrunda mı kullanıldığı ve belirlenen amaçlara ulaşılması için daha iyi yollar bulunup bulunmadığı da tespit edilmelidir.Değerlendirme, bir politika, program veya proje sayesinde elde edilenlerin, başlangıçtaki beklentilere dayalı olarak incelenmesi amacıyla yapılan ve bu inceleme yoluyla kazanılan derslerin karar verme süreçlerine aktarılmasını sağlamak için yürütülen çalışmalar bütünüdür.Etkin bir değerlendirme mekanizması olmaksızın, tüm dünyada, ekonomilerin belkemiği olarak kabul edilen KOBİ’lere aktarılan desteklerin etkinliği ve etkililiği tespit edilemeyeceği gibi, gelecek programların tasarımında da kanıta dayalı hareket edilemez. Bu nedenle, Devlet tarafından KOBİ’lere yönelik olarak uygulanan destek programlarının sistematik olarak değerlendirilmesi, büyük önem taşımaktadır.Bu çalışmada, çeşitli boyutlarıyla değerlendirme kavramı tanıtılarak, sonuç odaklı bir izleme ve değerlendirme sistemine neden ihtiyaç duyulduğu ve böyle bir sistemin faydaları ele alınmıştır.Netice itibarıyla, ulaşılan tüm bilgiler ve yapılan incelemeler ışığında, KOBİ’ler için kamu kaynaklarının kullanılmasında etkinliğin ve şeffaflığın sağlanması ile hesap verebilir bir kamu yönetimi anlayışının tesisi için değerlendirmenin kaçınılmaz olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
