Assessment Framework Development


Program Evaluation

In Canada, federal and provincial funding agreements have been structured to offer grants and/or loans to select initiatives that meet a specific set of criteria and strive to advance certain aspects of sustainability and innovation. With the treasuries on both levels increasingly pushing for accountability, the need has intensified to identify and quantify the improvements resulting from funded initiatives. Since a measurement system appropriate for evaluating such programs was not commonplace when these funding agreements were created, governments have enlisted IISD to lead the assessment, development, integration and evaluation of an appropriate measurement system and related capacity building.
