Summary of Publication
This is the report of the Independent Review of the first phase of the Aus4Innovation (A4I) program. This review is commissioned by CSIRO and has been assigned to the Strategic Development Group. The review covers the period from the start of the A4I in 2018 to mid-2021.
The main objectives of the review are to:
- Assess the progress of A4I under the four original program workstreams to determine the extent to which A4I is making progress towards its expected End of Program Outcomes (EoPOs); and
- Inform learning, and identify operational and thematic areas, to help shape the design of Phase 2 of A4I.
Considering the findings of this review, the independent review makes six recommendations (see Table 2 for the recommendations in full). Three of which are of a strategic nature aimed at enhancing the coherence of A4I, and three operational recommendations, which seek to reinforce the work A4I is doing in Vietnam. In combination these recommendations envision a clearly focused, integrated and effective A4I contribution in Vietnam in its next phase of implementation.
