Building Community Capacity - Competency Profile for Federal Public Service Evaluation Professionals


Acknowledgments

This competency profile represents the efforts of a large number of evaluation professionals, senior managers in the evaluation community, members of the Centre of Excellence for the evaluation community (CEE) and of the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS). The Centres of Excellence for Internal Audit and Evaluation share common goals with respect to building community capacity, thus where feasible, aspects of the competency profile development process were conducted simultaneously (e.g., the competency survey) to enhance efficiency. The success of this initiative would not have been possible were it not for the substantial contributions of hundreds of professionals across the evaluation community. In all, 355 professionals across the evaluation and audit communities took part in the survey, representing a response rate of 61%. Participants represented 59 different departments and agencies across the federal public service.

The following individuals participated in interviews at the outset of the competency development process, providing information concerning departmental objectives, priorities and challenges as well as the context and culture of evaluation work in the federal Public Service.
