ODE evaluations part 1: Introduction and volunteers - a podcast by Development Policy Centre, ANU

In recent months, the Office of Development Effectiveness, the unit within DFAT that’s responsible for the evaluation of Australia’s aid program, has released three important reports. One is its evaluation of the Australian aid volunteer program. The other are two reports on aid program quality: its review of aid program performance reports, and its Lessons from Australian Aid report.

As in past years, the Development Policy Centre hosted a forum to discuss and debate these reports. Presenters included the main authors of the reports and external discussants. Jim Adams, Chair of the Independent Evaluation Committee, was invited to close the forum.

Part 1 includes an introduction from the head of ODE, Dereck Rooken-Smith and the panel discussion on the volunteers evaluation.
