Sustainability-Ready Evaluation
The world is facing an unprecedented crisis of climate change and loss of biodiversity, but the evaluation profession has failed to develop the approaches and tools needed to effectively evaluate programs that operate at the nexus of human and natural systems. The Canadian Evaluation Society (CES) undertook a stocktaking in 2019–2020 to assess the state of sustainability-ready evaluation in Canada. The results confirmed that sustainability is not…
What should evaluation learn from COP 26? Views of evaluation practitioners
Leading evaluation practitioners were asked about lessons from the recent 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) for evaluation practice. Contributors emphasize the importance of evaluating equity between rich and poor countries and other forms of climate injustice. The role of the evaluation is questioned: what can evaluation be expected to do on its own and what requires collaboration across disciplines, professions and civil society – and acro…
Rapid impact evaluation
Rapid Impact Evaluation offers the potential to evaluate impacts in both ex ante and ex post settings, providing utility for developmental and formative evaluation as well as the usual summative settings. Rapid Impact Evaluation triangulates judgments of three separate groups of experts to assess the incremental change in effects attributable to the program. Three methodological innovations are central to the method: the scenario-based counterfac…
A Good Start, but We Can Do Better
This special issue of the Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation provides a valuable overview of competencies and introduces some of the evaluation competency efforts around the globe. Competency efforts and this issue are unquestionably good things. This brief comment reflects on how future efforts could be improved by articulating the program logic and mechanisms of how the use of credentials will contribute to improved evaluation, thus ensurin…
Evaluation of Natural Resource Interventions
This article provides a frame for evaluation of natural resource interventions, which necessarily involves both human and natural systems. Two-system evaluands require us to adapt evaluation methods for comparison and attribution and to address differences in time and space occurring across the systems as well as potentially very different values among stakeholders. While two-system evaluands can be challenging, it does not follow that evaluation…

Self-provided Housing
Self-provided housing is a major form of housing supply in nearly all the developed countries of W. Europe, N. America and Australasia. In many, like France or Germany, it accounted for the major part of housing output during the 1980s. Contrary to many opinions self-provision is not associated with backwardness, peripherality, or lack of market development. Rather, self-provided housing is often a major element in the expansion of European metro…
Self‐help housing provision
Self‐help has been a neglected aspect of housing provision in industrialised nations, yet in many locations it accounts for a significant share of new production and can contribute to improved housing circumstances for those whose housing need is not too severe. This paper discusses self‐help housing provision in Atlantic Canada and argues that it reduces the profitability of the residential construction industry and for this and other reasons, s…

Housing Programs and Income Distribution in Ontario
The Financing of Residential Construction in Newfoundland
Elected governments in Canada have long stated that access to safe and decent housing is a basic right of Canadians. With the first housing legislation, the Dominion Housing Act of 1935, housing policy attempted to encourage the development of mortgage financing for residential construction. Successive versions of the National Housing Act (NHA) have given to government the powers to (a) initiate mortgage loans or (b) support the activities of oth…
