Research & Evaluation

Because Gateway is a new innovation; we are interested in understanding what works and what doesn't work. Gateway's Research and Evaluation program seeks to ask questions in order to better understand our programs, and to explain and assess the results that emerge. By collecting information from different people involved in the program (eg. participants, program staff, managers, other agencies and government) and by asking a range of questions (eg. via interviews or surveys) we find out whether programs are working or not. Results are then used to make changes to ensure that a program works well over time and meets the needs of all those involved.
