Abstract
The Government of Canada’s investment in Development Innovation Fund – Health (DIF-H) has provided value for money. Investing in DIF-H remains relevant, and DIF-H has produced significant results. These outcomes have been produced economically, with acceptable levels of allocative efficiency and good levels of operational efficiency. Still, this evaluation has uncovered several issues that require attention. Grand Challenges Canada (GCC) should undertake a comprehensive review of its monitoring and reporting arrangements. These need to be more systematic, transparent, and consistent, so as to balance the externally facing promotional approach with the need for scientific rigour.
