Project Evaluations

The ILC conducts project evaluations to review evaluation criteria such as the effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of projects, with a particular focus on understanding the benefits and outcomes achieved. The process also enables staff to ask applicant groups reflective questions about project highlights and lessons learned.

Project evaluations are completed every three years from project commencement and at their completion. In 2013–14, these evaluations were undertaken by ILC staff in line with the Evaluation Framework requirements. Five land acquisition evaluations and 35 land management evaluations were completed in 2013–14.

Throughout the 2013–14 project evaluations, there was a recurring theme of benefits exceeding original targets. This reflects the high quality of projects and attests to commitment to continual improvement of land acquisition and land management programme design and projects. The projects themselves varied in complexity from support with basic equipment to significant infrastructure improvement. Highlights of evaluations were:

• In most cases, the projects that involved training and employment surpassed projections by at least 5%;

• Improved efficiency and effectiveness of operations on land notably in the provision of ILC staff support in improving corporate governance and financial management;

• Marked improvement in the Indigenous estate from a land management perspective in the majority of projects;

• An increase in the ability of ILC assisted-groups to seek out new collaborative partnerships as opportunities arise;

• An increase in actual and potential access to country by Indigenous persons;

• Compliance with state and federal government compliance and agreement to lease on land management requirements;

• Improved ability for maintenance of culture demonstrated by number of cultural events in the past year on Indigenous-held properties and increase in number of people involved;

• Expansion of social programmes on properties; and

• In a few cases, the ILC support has enabled proponents to develop and strengthen their intellectual property.

The findings have also highlighted issues that will also inform future improvements to ILC policy and practice including:

• Increasing the understanding and value of the intangible work, including governance, to enable Indigenous groups to attain and maintain ownership of land;

• Considering the generation of a broader set of benefits through land utilization than in the past; and

• Acknowledging the complexity of planning and implementing projects in rural and remote areas and factoring these into project planning aspects such as schedule, cost and others.

The project evaluation activities of 2013–14 provide insight into the ILC’s activities and account for the performance in achieving its purpose. Looking ahead, the ILC will continue to improve evaluation through a review of the related frameworks and alignment wherever required with guiding legislation and corporate strategic direction.
