It identifies the need for more conscious planning across the Centre in the early stages of engagement to maximize efficiencies, with the aim of making it easier for the Centre to monitor the real costs and associated outcomes of large conferences. The report suggests how the findings might apply to key administrative functions as they relate to IDRC‘s engagement with large conferences.Text1 digital file (72 p.)enEVALUATIONCONFERENCESGLOBALLEADERSHIPCAPACITY BUILDINGPOLICY SCIENCESLITERATURE REVIEWPROJECT EVALUATIONDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGCOST BENEFIT ANALYSISOPERATIONS RESEARCHORGANIZATION OF RESEARCHCANADAIDRC Evaluation Report
