Finding balance : an evaluation governance model to ease tension between independence and inclusion
Les spécialistes et les théoriciens ont documenté les avantages de la participation des utilisateurs en évaluation et, de la même façon, la valeur dedonnées d’évaluation neutres et impartiales. Il reste que réaliser une évaluation aussi indépendante qu’inclusive est encore un défi de taille dans notre domaine. Dans la présente note de pratique, nous présentons une solution. Nous décrivons le design d’une structure d’évaluation de la gouvernance qui a servi à trouver un équilibre entre les deux thèmes. Nous nommons aussi les éléments clés de cette expérience et expliquons comment ils peuvent être adaptés pour répondre à des besoins particuliers. Nous avons documenté notre expérience puisque nous croyons que la gouvernance est une avenue prometteuse pour relever ce défi qui touche de nombreuses disciplines.

Development Innovation Fund – Health : executive summary of the summative evaluation
The Government of Canada’s investment in Development Innovation Fund – Health (DIF-H) has provided value for money. Investing in DIF-H remains relevant, and DIF-H has produced significant results. These outcomes have been produced economically, with acceptable levels of allocative efficiency and good levels of operational efficiency. Still, this evaluation has uncovered several issues that require attention. Grand Challenges Canada (GCC) should undertake a comprehensive review of its monitoring and reporting arrangements. These need to be more systematic, transparent, and consistent, so as to balance the externally facing promotional approach with the need for scientific rigour.

The Development Innovation Fund in Health - final technical report
The Development Innovation Fund in Health (DIF-H), through Grand Challenges Canada (GCC) explored the potential to use an outside-of-government delivery vehicle to foster development innovation while maintaining strong accountability to Parliament. GCC delivered on objectives through three targeted challenges: Saving Lives at Birth, Saving Brains, and Global Mental Health. In addition, GCC was the anchor investor in the Global Health Investment Fund, a $108 million social impact investment fund. One of the more powerful aspects of the GCC model has been the ability to drive significant interest and engagement in innovators across Canada and throughout the developing world.
