Performance measurement and program evaluation

As an evaluation consultant, I work with my clients to develop and implement accessible evaluation plans and processes, and to build their capacity to collect, analyze and use evaluation data. I draw from a participatory approach that meaningfully engages all stakeholders while prioritizing their safety and wellbeing. I use multiple methods within each project to help my clients collect the breadth of information and feedback they require to more effectively gauge the impact of their work and to report back on activities. My evaluation reports offer comprehensive analyses of processes, outcomes and lessons learned, coupled with realistic recommendations to help enhance the impact of future work practices and services. Current and recent evaluation mandates include:

DÉSIR – A Quebec-wide education and training program on HIV, HCV and other STBBIs. I am collaborating with CAPAHC and PVSQ to evaluate this five-year project that seeks to increase the knowledge and capacity of key populations and their service providers to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections, and to respond to the needs of affected individuals and communities (2022-2027).
