This outcome-based evaluation seeks to assess both the planned and unplanned outcomes of the annual Caribbean Child Research Conference. In particular the extent to which the adult research and the conference contributed to the policy dialogue and policy decisions in Jamaica; including the factors that aided or hindered this process.
An assessment of the results achieved to date will guide the Caribbean Child Research Conference (CCRC) Steering Committee in determining optimal strategies for continuation of the conference and providing direction regarding the efficiency of implementation, as well as for ensuring its continued relevance, sustainability and effectiveness.
