  • Who was engaged, and how, in the report writing process

  • The timeline developed to guide the report writing process, and how closely the program adhered to the timeline

  • The process used to determine what type and how much information to include in the report, particularly in terms of addressing compliance with CIDA Standards and sources of evidence for expectations

The presentation should be approximately 45 minutes in length, including time for discussion. If your presentation is selected, you will receive an honorarium of $500.
