EvalConnex: Federal Evaluators Community Professional Series 2016

EvalConnex - Evaluators Workshops

Evaluating with Experimental Designs

The Prime Minister's mandate letter to the President of the Treasury Board asks him to work with his colleagues to experiment with new approaches to existing programs, including how their impact is measured.

The new Policy on Results gives evaluators more room for innovation and experimentation in what they evaluate, the issues they consider and the timing of their evaluations.

This session will provide an overview of developing experimental designs for evaluation, when such designs can be used in a government context and some examples of how they have been used already.
