The Australian Government's Innovation Report

Backing Australia’s Ability Evaluation Plan
An evaluation of Backing Australia’s Ability is to be undertaken to examine the evidence that the overarching
goals have been achieved. It is envisaged that evidence will come from two separate but complementary
aspects. The first is the analysis of the total package and the second is the contributions that the individual
programmes have made. Combining these will capture not only the net contribution of individual programmes
but also the synergies, interconnectivity and spill-overs that make the package greater than the sum of its parts.
It is envisaged that this work will be undertaken within the next few years.
