The Resilience Research Centre has conducted extensive evaluations of programs and services at local, national, and international levels, focusing on the well-being of children, youth, families, and communities.
“Our evaluations are tailored to the needs of each program and tend to use mixed methods with a pre-, mid-, post- test design. We work closely with our partners to ensure the evaluation meets their needs, the needs of their funders and that the evaluation is feasible. We also strive to build capacity within the organization by training them to administer the evaluation tools and by working together throughout the entire evaluation process, from the logic model to report writing.”
– Michael Ungar, PhD, Founder and Director of the Resilience Research Centre, Dalhousie University
If you require professional support in designing and/or conducting your own evaluation, we provide a range of services on a consultative cost-recovery basis. Alternatively, we offer capacity-building opportunities for your organization by providing training and resources to equip program staff with the necessary skills to conduct evaluations independently. The following list of supports can be provided either individually or bundled into a package:
> Assistance in selecting the right evaluation tools (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods)
> Support with grant-writing
> Development of a logic model
> Consultation on the best methodology for your evaluation or research project
> Data analysis and report writing
> Guidance on how to mobilize knowledge and scale up successful programs
Leave it to us! Our comprehensive evaluations are designed to meet the specific needs of each program or organization, from start to finish. We begin with a tailored evaluation design and conclude with a professionally produced report, ensuring that your organization is set up for success. Our collaborative approach provides valuable insights into your program’s impact on the community and offers guidance on areas for improvement. Whether conducted at the beginning (formative design) or end (summative design) of a program, our evaluations can be performed at any time. Many of our evaluations are longitudinal, tracking the progress of participants over time through pre-, mid-, and post-test assessments. We specialize in customizing evaluation designs to best suit government agencies, non-profits, and social enterprises. Our skilled team conducts both quantitative (surveys, questionnaires, numerical analyses) and qualitative research (interviews, focus groups, file reviews, visual arts-based methodologies). Utilizing mixed methods approaches, our evaluations provide a comprehensive understanding of program outcomes. Through ongoing consultations, we work closely with your organization to deliver clear and concise mid-term and final evaluation reports that include resilience scores, risk factors, cost analyses, and other tailored deliverables.

Resilience, Adaptive Peacebuilding and Transitional Justice (2021)
Processes of post-war reconstruction, peacebuilding and reconciliation are partly about fostering stability and adaptive capacity across different social systems. Nevertheless, these processes have seldom been expressly discussed within a resilience framework. Similarly, although the goals of transitional justice – among them (re)establishing the rule of law, delivering justice and aiding reconciliation – implicitly encompass a resilience element, transitional justice has not been explicitly theorised as a process for building resilience in communities and societies that have suffered large-scale violence and human rights violations. The chapters in this unique volume theoretically and empirically explore the concept of resilience in diverse societies that have experienced mass violence and human rights abuses. They analyse the extent to which transitional justice processes have – and can – contribute to resilience and how, in so doing, they can foster adaptive peacebuilding. This book is available as Open Access.
