Abstract

In this paper, we aim to present the use of structural equation modeling methodology to evaluate a conceptual model empirically, identifying factors critical to policy implementation. It is based on 311 responses from the mid-level implementers of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), the flagship welfare programme of the Government of India.Our research documents administrative and governance factors, strategic communication, planning, resources, well-defined networks and demographics of the implementers as critical to policy implementation. We expect it will promote the cause of implementation evaluation and encourage interdisciplinary methodologies for public policy evaluation purposes.
