Therefore, the evaluation of the results and impacts of these policies on the country's program system with a Future-oriented approach is vital and through the implementation of future-oriented evaluation, it is possible to further develop these policies and increase their effectiveness. The present article seeks to provide an integrated framework for future-oriented evaluation of the macro policy of the Supreme Leader's communiqué with the project management approach and, by examining the research literature in the field of strategic forecasting and project management assessment, using the Delphi method as a tool for future studying and ranking Dimensions and components of strategic forecasting evaluation.

The current structure of the Basij, which utilizes a mechanical pattern, has some advantages, but it has numerous and significant drawbacks that have significantly impacted the activities of this inistitution. One of the disadvantages of this structure can be the dispersion of units on the horizon, inflexsible relationships, distinct tasks and weaknesses in innovation, standardization of activities and disabilities in creativity, centralized decision making system (up to down), The absence of experts in decision making, as well as the lack of interaction among sub-units, which caused inefficiency and Lack of effectiveness. This research want to examine the achievements of an empirical research and practical research (research activity) in applying an organic structures in the Basij, and to report its effects, in this way. Studies of this research (including design, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting), which took 3 years, indicate positive effects in efficiency and effectiveness. The results of this research provide a model for utilizing such structures in other basijs center.
