APPROACH

A combined Process and Impact evaluation is being conducted for this project. A Process evaluation is designed to explore the inner workings of the partnership and determine its efficiency and effectiveness. At the same time, the impact of the partnership is being evaluated.
A series of in-depth interviews is being conducted with key internal stakeholders about the partnership, along with client surveys and interviews, supplemented by desktop research.

A strategic Evaluation Report was prepared, containing priority recommendations.  The Evaluation Report was launched in October 2024 at an event with all key stakeholders from the health partners network, including from UNSW, POWH and KLC.
