Abstract

This paper highlights the current monitoring and evaluation practices and models of Australia’s regional natural resource management (NRM) organisations and outlines some of the key issues that drive and the issues that prevent improved evaluation practice in these organisations. A analysis of the relationships between drivers, barriers and current practices with consideration of the evaluation hierarchy (Rossi, Lipsey and Freeman cited in Sharp 2005) and the evaluation models proposed by Osborne et al (1995) shows a mismatch between the implemented evaluation models and the models expected based on the organisations’ evaluation drivers for many of these NRM organisations.
