Programme Evaluation

Our credibility and ability to develop and expand Kiwi Can, Stars and Project K depends on proven performance.
Qualified staff at National Support Office are dedicated to evaluation and a database has been developed to help measure programme outcomes.  To ensure that our evaluation design and practices remain credible and also to provide opportunities for external evaluation projects, we have developed an association with the University of Auckland and Massey University.  We are also open to proposals for independent research projects from Masters and PhD students or other research agencies.
