Veterans Affairs Canada Evaluation of the Community War Memorial Program - February 2015

Veterans Affairs Canada Evaluation of the Community War Memorial Program - February 2015 The evaluation of the Community War Memorial Program (CWMP) was conducted to address the requirement for full evaluation coverage, as per the *Financial Administration Act* and Treasury Board's 2009 Directive on the Evaluation Function. An evaluation of the CWMP was also required prior to its specified end date of March 31, 2015 to inform future decision-making on this program, or similar programs within the Government of Canada. The purpose of the Program is to provide a method through which VAC can extend its reach in delivering its mandate regarding commemorative activities. The Program provides non-repayable contributions of up to 50% of the total project costs associated with building a new cenotaph/monument or a major addition to an existing one to a maximum of $50,000 per project. The Program provides funding to various recipients including registered charitable organizations, provinces, territories and municipalities. Funds are reimbursed for eligible capital costs incurred, based on valid receipts. Delivery is in the form of a contribution payment and therefore requires a written funding agreement between VAC and the recipient. 2022-02-24 Veterans Affairs Canada vac.opengovernment-gouvernementouvert.acc@canada.ca Government and PoliticsVeterans Affairs CanadaVACInternal auditingEvaluationCommunity War Memorial ProgramCWMPVeteransCommemoration Evaluation of the Community War Memorial Program - February 2015HTML https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/about-us/reports/departmental-audit-evaluation/2015-evaluation-cwmp Evaluation of the Community War Memorial Program - February 2015PDF https://www.veterans.gc.ca/pdf/deptReports/2015-evaluation-cwmp.pdf Evaluation of the Community War Memorial Program - February 2015HTML https://www.veterans.gc.ca/fra/about-us/reports/departmental-audit-evaluation/2015-evaluation-cwmp Evaluation of the Community War Memorial Program - February 2015PDF https://www.veterans.gc.ca/pdf/deptReports/2015-evaluation-cwmp_f.pdf
