The purpose of the midterm evaluation is to provide an independent assessment of the FIT program so that FIT can make program improvements. The evaluation will cover a period of 24-27 months, from approximately December 2018 to March 2021, and will focus on program and resource development as well as implementation of Intakes 1 and 2. The evaluation will assess the relevance of the fund, its effectiveness as well as the program’s development, implementation, performance, and its capacity to achieve the expected outcomes.
The findings and recommendations in the Midterm Evaluation Report will be used to inform the program. The findings may also be used by other key stakeholders of the FIT program such as MCIC, the ICN and Global Affairs Canada.
