Description

This project aimed to develop an evaluation framework to assess the implementation process and outcomes of Housing Ministers' 10-year Statement of New Directions for Indigenous Housing: Building a Better Future: Indigenous Housing to 2010 (BBF). It was planned that the evaluation framework be used for the mid-term review due in 2005, and at the end of the strategy in 2010. It was strongly suggested that the evaluation framework be subsequently applied using a staged roll-out, where it is applied to one area, reviewed and revised if needed before full implementation. This would allow review of the framework in terms of collection, analysis, reporting and some use of the evaluation findings. The framework aimed to develop specific evaluation questions and practical methods to answer them, including identifying appropriate data sources and analysis techniques, drawing on the work of the SCIH (Standing Committee on Indigenous Housing) in developing reporting frameworks and data collection systems. The framework also articulated a strategy for reporting and utilisation of the information generated through the mid-term and final reviews. Given the need to assess the impact of BBF in an environment influenced by many other factors, non-experimental designs will be used to identify the impact of other factors, and the ways in which BBF by itself and in conjunction with other initiatives, activities and events has had impacts on Indigenous Housing.
