Evaluations: Environment and Climate Change Canada

Program evaluations are a powerful tool that supports efficient operations and management decision making. They add value by systematically and neutrally gathering and analyzing information on whether a program or project is working and why and how it works. They ask the question “is the program or project doing the right things?
