For individuals, organizations and groups that run refugee programs​​​

For groups working with one or more streams of refugee arrivals:

• refugee claimants

• government-assisted refugees (GARs)

• privately sponsored refugees (PSRs)

• blended visa office-referred (BVOR) & joint assistance sponsorship (JAS)

For other settlement organizations that may adapt these tools & resources for other newcomers​

This website is designed to build your group's capacity to conduct community-based evaluations through a variety of tools & resources

The website uses a community-based approach to evaluation, where evaluations capture multiple stakeholder perspectives, including the voices of those who arrived as refugees

You can contribute to improving the evaluation of refugee programs in Canada, and ultimately strengthening supports for all refugee newcomers

The Centre for Community Based Research (CCBR) led the creation of this website in partnership with the Evaluation Capacity Network (ECN) at the University of Alberta

An advisory committee provided guidance and support throughout the website's development

Funding is provided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) via the Service Delivery Improvements program

IRCC resettles refugee newcomers through designated streams (see logic model here); the tools & resources on this website further addresses the unique needs & desired outcomes of refugee newcomers once they land in Canada
