Team Spirit Project Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy

CAAWS and the Aboriginal Sport Circle are committed to results-based learning as a tool for effective management. In August 2005, the Team Spirit Advisory Committee developed a management framework for the Team Spirit project that provided a foundation for the project’s monitoring and evaluation strategy. It describes the project’s expected key results and reach (the project's logic), performance targets for the key results, and the assumptions, risks and associated management strategies. The monitoring and evaluation strategy includes information that will be collected about the community sport programs and the experiences of the participating Aboriginal girls and young women, as well as process information that will be collected from the Team Spirit Program Leaders, Project Manager, Advisory Committee members and other key stakeholders to capture what is working well and what needs to be improved at all levels of the project. The data collected through the monitoring and evaluation strategy will be used by CAAWS and the Aboriginal Sport Circle to enhance the effectiveness of the Team Spirit project, as well as report on key results to Sport Canada and other key stakeholders.

The following Team Spirit monitoring and evaluation resources are provided here as examples for those interested in developing effective monitoring and evaluation strategies.
