About the plan
This document presents an evaluation plan for each of the six outcomes of the Regional Land Partnerships (RLP) component of the National Landcare Program. The Evaluation Plan aims to create an approach that will support clear and effective reporting on achievements across the RLP. The plan sets out the short, medium and long-term goals for each outcome, identifies indicators and measures to assess progress towards those outcomes, and defines the type of data Service Providers should collect in order to report on progress.
Each of the detailed evaluation plans for the six 5-year RLP outcomes take into account the existing Monitoring Evaluation Reporting Index (MERI) frameworks and high level RLP logics. They are also intended to provide advice for both the Australian Government and RLP Service Providers on preparing for both medium-term and end of program evaluations. Each outcome evaluation plan has three main components: program logic, program and outcome specific Key Evaluation Questions, and a monitoring plan. Service Providers are expected to refer to the Evaluation Plan when developing their project MERI plans and during the project to guide project progress and outcomes reporting.
