Recovery monitoring and evaluation

About

QRA’s monitoring and evaluation function is jointly funded under Australian and Queensland Government Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

Strong monitoring and evaluation practices support QRA to understand:

  • how every dollar spent makes a difference
  • if packages are working for impacted communities as intended
  • if packages are achieving their recovery and resilience objectives
  • how packages can be improved for future disaster events.

Monitoring and evaluation is intended to support continuous learning, performance improvement, evidence informed decision-making and accountability.

QRA’s Evaluation Strategy was developed to support contemporary evaluation practice within the context of Queensland’s recovery and resilience priorities. The strategy outlines how QRA intends to approach monitoring and evaluation activities for Category C and D exceptional circumstances packages under DRFA.
