Open to undergraduate and graduate students, and interested community members

About the Program:

Six organizations have partnered to establish a community-university network to conduct applied evaluation research for knowledge development, exchange and utilization.

Open to students and community, the Summer Institute in Program Evaluation will enable participants to exchange information about evaluation for improved program
planning and delivery.

The program targets:

• Project managers and coordinators responsible for the monitoring and evaluation of their programs, projects or organizations;
• Community leaders and workers with project responsibilities;
• Decision makers looking at new ways to make their programs more participatory and responsive to local needs;
• Undergraduate and graduate students seeking to improve their skills and knowledge in the area of community-based program evaluation;
• All those seeking to connect with students, practitioners and researchers involved in delivery and evaluation of a broad range of health and social services.

A combination of lecture, case study and group work will introduce 75 participants to the concepts of participatory evaluation focusing on the social, economic and environmental determinants of well-being.
