Research and Evaluation
The program promotes learning and reflection across and between all partners to ensure that the program delivers on its development and public diplomacy outcomes.
We are committed to operational and programmatic excellence, through continuous improvement in our ability to systematically document, analyse and measure results and our commitment to share evidence and learning with program stakeholders and the Australian public that promotes better practice.
