Evaluation of First Nations, Inuit and Metis Funded Projects

Background

As a non-Indigenous, pan-Canadian health organization, the Partnership recognizes its responsibility to engage in the ongoing process of reconciliation in all the work we do, grounded in partnership, respect and the recognition of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis rights, including health sovereignty and self-determination.

With guidance from First Nations, Inuit and Métis Advisors, the Partnership developed its commitment to reconciliation that guides the organization, including the implementation of the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control (the Strategy). The Strategy supports reconciliation and health transformation through the advancement of First Nations, Inuit and Métis -identified and led, Peoples-specific priorities and actions (Priorities 6, 7 and 8). 

Project goals and objectives

The Partnership is looking to engage a vendor to work collaboratively with partners to plan and conduct an evaluation of the funded initiatives that are driving Peoples-specific priorities and actions (Priorities 6, 7 and 8). The vendor will work collaboratively with the Partnership and funded partners to:

• Develop an evaluation framework that takes a strength-based story telling approach and weaves together over 35 partner’s own evaluation learning goals and results.
• Take a meaningful and flexible approach in alignment with partner readiness, capacity, resources, interests and relevant context.
• Engage over 35 First Nations, Inuit and Métis partners across 13 jurisdictions to develop partner-specific data sharing agreements/MOUs as needed for this evaluation in accordance with appropriate data governance and research principles.
• Develop stories of impact that are meaningful to partners and in alignment with partner consent, data sharing agreements/MOUs.
• Support and enhance the capacity of partners to evaluate their work.
