Program Evaluation and Performance Measurement
Every organization wants reliable and valid knowledge of the effectiveness of their activities. EKOS has one of Canada’s longest and most distinguished records in measuring the effectiveness of programs and other activities. Flexibility is a priority and our team prides itself on the ability to develop innovative solutions to meet the unique needs of individual clients.
Our evaluation frameworks, designs, and performance measurement strategies ensure comprehensive issue coverage through multiple lines of evidence. Combining rigourous quantitative designs and consultation with relevant stakeholders means the full range of perspectives on program activities, impacts, and alternatives is considered.
