About twenty years ago evaluation was introduced in Japanese local governments. In the beginning this evaluation was considered as a key tool in decentralization reform and the financial crisis, but the aim became ambiguous later. As a result, expectation of evaluation has been fading in spite of call for more rational evaluation. Japanese researchers in policy evaluation pointed out that output indices of projects were not linked to outcome of the program on the upper level in many cases. It is difficult to measure how much each project is effective to the program if it adheres to a quantitative evaluation. The purpose of this study is to show a framework of project evaluation based on outcome of the program and a way to calculate relative evaluation values of projects with respect to the program using the AHP. In this study outcome of the program is represented as a hierarchy of three levels with the program on the top, several viewpoints of the program and several functions of activities of projects to achieve outcome of the program. In this study I defined Contribution degrees of projects to evaluate projects relatively with respect to the program. Relative evaluation values of projects are calculated by this degree. I showed how to calculate relative evaluation values of projects for the program related to gender equality in a local government. The ANP can simultaneously calculate Contribution degrees and relative evaluation values of projects, I did not use it in this study.
