Quantitative Impact Assessment (QIA) Workshop (2024)

Statistics Canada (StatCan) and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) have organized a four-day workshop on using QIA methods for program evaluation. Participants will learn the strengths and limitations of QIA methods and how to better leverage data.
