The purpose of Evaluation

The primary purpose of the independent evaluation was to assess progress against the Programs objectives and to make recommendations to DFAT for improvements to program implementation and management.

The information gathered in the review will guide DFAT in its strategic and management decisions regarding the two Programs and will inform the use of facilities in the Solomon Islands context.
