Developing Evaluation and Communication Capacity in Information Society Research (DECI-2)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIn July 2012, DECI-2, a four-year long, global level project was launched. It built on the previous DECI-1 work (2011-12) and is unique in linking UFE with Research Communication. The team of two Co-Principal Investigators, a Communications Advisor and six regional UFE and ResCom mentors mentored IDRC projects in Asia, Africa, Latin America; the approach has also been adapted for initiatives in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DECI-2 has been evaluated externally with positive results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evaluation included several uses: as a learning tool; as a supplement for future FORUT-NORAD agreements; and as a conceptual and practical understanding of the theory of change underpinning the three interrelated thematic areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wataynikaneyap Power project will significantly improve social\/living conditions and promote economic development in these remote First Nation communities, and is a unique ownership model enabling responsible development, capacity building, and benefits to First Nations communities in their traditional homelands. New Economy was contracted in 2012 by the Central Energy Corridor Group (CCEG) to be the Project Management Office and to provide project management, corporate governance, economic development, community engagement and environmental assessment expertise to facilitate the initiation of the project. With the selection of an experienced development partner in the fall of 2013 New Economy\u2019s project management role was completed. New Economy has however continued to provide environmental assessment (EA) and community engagement services to CCEG for the Phase 1 Individual EA and related environmental planning.
