Prepared by the OECD Working Party on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Entrepreneurship, this report seeks to provide public administrators with a strengthened conceptual framework for evaluating small and medium enterprise (SME) and entrepreneurship polices and programs at national and local levels. It explains the importance of having an evaluation culture, provides examples of good micro-evaluation practice at national and sub-national levels, reviews key evaluation debates such as who conducts evaluations and what procedures and methods should be used, and discusses the distinction between policies that are specific to entrepreneurship and SMEs and those mainstream policies that may also have an impact on SMEs and entrepreneurship.
