Multi-Year Evaluation Plan
2008-09 to 2010-11
4. MULTI-YEAR EVALUATION PLAN 2008-2011
The following section of this document outlines the proposed evaluation activities to be completed over the upcoming three-year period. They are presented in relationship to the Department's Program Activity Architecture (PAA). The alignment of activities to the PAA provides a more accurate picture of the coverage of evaluation. It will also facilitate the use of evaluation information in the RPP and the Departmental Performance Report for planning and reporting purposes because this is the same framework that is used for these exercises as well as for departmental strategic reviews.
