Independent evaluation

An independent evaluation of SiREN was undertaken by John Scougall Consulting Services in May 2015. The evaluation had two objectives:

1. To identify the value SiREN adds to the sexual health and blood-borne virus sector in terms of:
   a. Strengthening sector capacity
   b. Building partnerships
   c. Long-term health for consumers
2. To provide a formative (program development) perspective that identifies options to improve and refine the SiREN model.

In order to answer these objectives a mixed method approach was undertaken, which involved a:

• desktop document analysis;
• program description and logic workshop;
• qualitative interviews;
• on-line survey; and
• case studies.

The evaluation was overall very uplifting and included some clear messages about where SiREN needs to focus their future efforts.
