From evidence to action: Using lapsing funding evaluations to drive better decisions

Every year, governments must decide whether to continue, reshape, or stop programs as funding lapses. To inform these decisions, high-quality evaluation is essential.

This webinar brings together practical lessons from Victorian lapsing funding evaluation approaches and broader Australian and New Zealand experience. 

You'll walk away knowing how evaluations can:

• Demonstrate and communicate the impact of high-performing programs 

• Support governments to redesign and strengthen under-performing initiatives 

• Inform evidence-based decisions to responsibly wind down programs that are not delivering 

With a mix of technical guidance and practical insights, you will walk away knowing how to design evaluations that genuinely support funding decisions, program improvement, and public value. 

This webinar is ideal for: 

• Senior leaders and decision-makers responsible for funding and investment decisions 

• Program and policy managers preparing for lapsing funding processes 

• Evaluation, monitoring and performance professionals 

• Finance, strategy and planning teams 

• Anyone commissioning, overseeing or responding to evaluations in the public sector 

Whether the evaluation highlights the value of a successful initiative, shows ways to improve a program with mixed results, or supports planning for an orderly exit from a struggling one, this webinar will provide practical guidance you can apply immediately.
