Tough these days interests to the qualitative evaluation have increased in Korea, the research results are not accumulated. There are some articles on the qualitative evaluation which used several qualitative methods such as in-depth interview, focus group interview, and participants observation. However there is few article which focused on the contribution for qualitative evaluation. For the implication for Korean research, we reviewed eight foreign cases. Nevertheless also foreign researches are not so many, they suggested some core components for qualitative evaluation. The most thing is the voice of shakeholders in the every policy scene. And it needs more research for evaluating the quality of the qualitative evaluations.
