Monitoring and evaluation

The Positive Ageing in Auckland plan will be assessed through the adoption of an evaluation framework. This framework will include those measures listed above as well as the following:

• annual audit of projects identified in the plan that have been achieved and those that need to be completed or initiated
• formal and informal discussions with internal and external stakeholders and community representatives (workshops, forums, meetings, questionnaires) to look at the extent to which the desired outcomes of the plan have been achieved as well as whether other outcomes need to be included
• through the positive ageing forum identify and reassess on an ongoing basis the council's roles and council’s partnerships with other government agencies and community services to achieve the best possible outcomes for the ageing population in Auckland. Conduct project process evaluation at a midpoint of each project to evaluate how the project outcomes could be improved
• a number of other evaluation measures like the First City of the Pacific survey and Annual perceptions of safety research will be used to look at change in relation to specific outcomes
• annual progress of the action plan will be reported.
