The promotion of evidence-based policy making (EBPM) in administrative project review is intended to examine projects by creating a logic model. Some people think that this is not in line with the main purpose of EBPM as no experiments and advanced statistical analysis are conducted in this regard. However, such a view is problematic in that it does not take into account the characteristics and purpose of administrative project review. This paper clarifies the position of administrative project review and examines the case of administrative project review in 2019. The results reveal that the challenges of administrative project review are that (1) it is influenced by external experts' awareness of the issues and (2) its intended impact includes "policy" and "program." While presenting these issues, this paper emphasizes the importance of the educational and awareness-raising effects of administrative project reviews by leveraging their characteristics and sharing their roles with other approaches.
