Program and Policy Evaluation
About this Research Theme
How do we know if programs and policies work? How can we implement programs and policies to make them more effective? Carleton has one of the only schools in Canada active in evaluation in public policy. Research in this area covers policy and program evaluation that can occur at the national government, sub-government, and international levels.
