Late last year (December 2021), the Commonwealth Government released a swanky new evaluation resource, complete with a bunch of useful information, resources and templates to help guide evaluation planning, implementation and use.

“The guide is designed to help Commonwealth entities and companies meet existing requirements. It provides a principles-based approach for the conduct of evaluations across the Commonwealth, and can be used to help plan how government programs and activities will be evaluated across the policy cycle in line with better practice approaches.”

The Guide is comprised of the Commonwealth’s Evaluation Policy, together with an Evaluation Toolkit, inclusive of a swag of templates, completed exemplars, case studies and other frameworks and tools to support evaluation activities.

Check it out – maybe there’s something that might be of use for your next evaluation activity.
