Findings from the evaluation’s multiple lines of evidence support the previous evaluation findings that the program has positive impacts on the employment and income levels of participants following program participation. Also, there continues to be a demonstrated need for the type of programming offered by OF for persons with disabilities and the program reflects both GC and Departmental policy directions and priority areas.The evidence collected for the evaluation can be found in more detail in technical reports which have been made available to program management.

What Counts? A Mixed-Methods Study to Inform Evaluation of Shelters for Abused Women

Shelters for abused women have expanded from “safe havens” to providing a range of residential and outreach services, and face increasing pressure to demonstrate “value for money” by providing evaluation metrics that may or may not reflect what they actually do. We conducted interviews and surveys with 68 shelter directors in Ontario, Canada, and found that differences in service philosophy and how abuse is defined influence decisions about who receives services and the shelter’s role in the broader community; these in turn affect how the work of shelters is positioned. Implications for shelter service evaluation are discussed.

Towards an Understanding of Effective Practices in Employment Programs for People with Disabilities in Canada

This is a review of Canadian best practices supporting the participation of persons with disabilities in the labour market. The objective of the research is to identify and analyze domestic best practices in programs, approaches or initiatives that support the participation of people with disabilities in the labour market. A related aim is to show how they can overcome barriers to labour market participation, thereby allowing governments to draw lessons from effective and successful employment programs for people with disabilities and develop policy options to optimize labour market outcomes for this group.

The Canada-Manitoba Labour Market Agreement for Persons with Disabilities (CM-LMAPD), which replaced the former Employability Assistance for People with Disabilities (EAPD) Agreement on April 1, 2004, is a bilateral agreement between the Government of Canada and the Province of Manitoba. The agreement outlines federal-provincial cost-sharing provisions for eligible, provincially designed and delivered programming meant to increase the economic participation of persons with disabilities. It is based on a Multilateral Framework that was approved by the federal and provincial governments in December 2003.
