Evaluation

In 2015 the OACAO received a 25-month Partnership Grant Program (PGP) grant from Ontario’s Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration (MCI). The aim of the PGP grant project was to build evaluation capacity in the 8 regions and in all member centres of the OACAO in order to:

• Develop a shared (or common) understanding of evaluation; and
• Increase the ability and confidence to undertake evaluation activities that are credible (defensible) as well as feasible.
