Summary
"The Family Violence Initiative (FVI) is a horizontal initiative of 15 federal departments and agencies, led by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). The goal of the federal FVI is to enhance awareness of family violence issues; build the knowledge base that will help to address these issues; and contribute to a strengthened ability of the communities and the justice, housing and health systems to prevent and respond to family violence.
The Department of Justice Canada (Justice) is a long-term partner in the federal FVI and one of eight departments receiving an initiative-specific funding allocation.
The purpose of the evaluation is to examine the continued relevance of the Justice FVI; its design and implementation; the accomplishments and achievements of activities implemented within the scope of the Initiative, and the demonstrated efficiency and economy. The results will be used by Justice for planning and reporting purposes. The evaluation was completed over a nine-month period. The scope of the evaluation encompasses projects funded from 2005-2010 and policy activities undertaken from 2000-2010."--Page i.
