Evaluation capacity building in the Respect, Responsibility and Equality program: Report on Stage 1 (2008–2010)

The evaluation of the VicHealth Respect, Responsibility and Equality program – utilising an evaluation capacity building approach – was undertaken in two distinct stages. The first stage spanned the period from August 2008 to February 2010 and was led and coordinated by Dr Michael Flood. The second stage spanned the period from February 2010 to August 2011 and was led and coordinated by Dr Wei Leng Kwok. Together, these practice papers summarise the approach taken during these periods and are authored by the respective Research Practice Leaders at those times on behalf of VicHealth. Together, these practice papers aim to contribute unique and relevant knowledge and perspectives to the field of evaluation in health promotion and public health more broadly.
