Department background / Présentation de l'Agence


Evaluation serves as a practical management tool for reviewing performance and enabling the Agency to learn from experience so that a better job can be done when designing and delivering future initiatives. In this regard, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) periodically conducts evaluations of its thematic priorities, programs and projects. CIDA's Performance and Knowledge Management Branch undertakes these evaluations on behalf of the Agency, either as part of its Annual Internal Audit and Evaluation Plan or on special request.

***********************************

L'évaluation est un outil de gestion pratique qui sert à évaluer le rendement et d'en tirer des leçons. L’évaluation permet à l'Agence d’améliorer la conception et la mise en oeuvre de ses programmes et  initiatives à venir.  L'ACDI effectue régulièrement des évaluations de ses thèmes, de ses programmes et de ses projets.  La Direction de l’évaluation de l’ACDI conduit des évaluations sur demande spéciale ou dans le cadre  du plan annuel de vérification et d'évaluation.
