Evaluation reports

The objective of the evaluations is to assess CIRANO’s performance with regard to the expectations of the funding by the Government of Quebec for the given period.

CIRANO’s evaluation reports are the result of a collaboration with several people without whom the works could not have been completed.

In this regard, we wish to thank all the people involved in any way in the production of the evaluation reports.

Particularly, our thanks are addressed to the personnel of the Centre interuniversitaire de recherche en analyse des organisations (CIRANO) and to all Quebec government’s corporate services of the ministries involved.

We also want to thank the members of the evaluation committees which were established for the purpose of these mandates.

The objectives, role and operating mode of the evaluation committee are described below:

Objectives of the establishment of the committee:

Members selection

The selection of the members is made based on their knowledge and experience with the program or organization.
