Studies & Reports 33 of 61
"The main objective of this document is to report on a preliminary study, carried out at the request of Canadian Heritage, on the development of performance indicators in Quebec, Europe, and (in particular) the United Kingdom. The study’s goal is to review and analyze the main indicators developed by the governments of these jurisdictions. Indicators are recurrent and updated measures that allow individuals or organizations to describe conditions, record trends and identify results. They exist within a framework of evaluation procedures that examines whether or not set objectives are achieved. As such, developing performance indicators is a crucial step in the evaluation process, something the increasing number of conferences and documents on the subject indicates (see bibliography). This document is not the proper forum for a detailed analysis of how and why the evaluation policies sector has evolved. Instead, in the context of difficult choices concerning public investment priorities and the need for governments and organizations to be efficient and accountable, we emphasize the need, as expressed by artists, cultural organizers and government officials, for practical tools to evaluate, measure and justify the impact of their practices and policies."
