Evaluation of the Training and Human Resources Development Project: Overview
The Training and Human Resources Development Project (THRDP) underwent an external evaluation, conducted by the Centre de recherche et d鈥檈xpertise en 茅valuation, based at the 脡cole nationale d鈥檃dministration publique. The evaluation had two main goals:
- Accountability to Health Canada and to our project partners
- Identifying lessons learned and ways to improve the project.
The evaluation was guided by an Internal Evaluation Committee, with representatives from 平特五不中, and by an External Evaluation Committee, with representatives from the Agences de la sant茅 et des services sociaux, educational institutions, and community groups.
The evaluation had two main components:
- Evaluation of the implementation of the project. This component addressed the following questions:
- What needs is the THRDP intended to address? To what extent is the program a relevant strategy to address them?
- To what extent does the THRDP-as-implemented correspond to the planned project?
- If there are differences between the planned and the actual project, will the changes facilitate the achievement of the desired results?
- What factors have facilitated or challenged the THRDP鈥檚 implementation?
- Have the components of the THRDP produced their expected outputs?
- What lessons have been learned to date from the implementation of the THRDP?
- How could the project be improved?
- Evaluation of the results. This component addressed the following questions:
- To what extent the THRDP has contributed to the capacity of the health and social services system to offer English language services?
- Has the THRDP helped reduce linguistic barriers in the health and social services system?
- Has the THRDP contributed to improve accessibility to English language health and social services?
The evaluation data collection strategies included: secondary analysis of administrative data; telephone interviews with project partners in all regions; focus groups with community organizations in each region, and questionnaires for participants in the training and development programs.
An Interim Evaluation Report was submitted to Health Canada in March 2007, and the Final Evaluation Report was submitted in October 2007.
