Effectiveness of Canada Rural Partnership (CRP) - Evaluation Report

EFFECTIVENESS OF CANADA RURAL PARTNERSHIP (CRP)

Introduction
Rural economy is a prime indicator of a countries or region’s economic development (Benjamin,
2017). The aim of this report is to evaluate CRP’s effectiveness based on Innovation Pursuit (IP)
and North Consultancy (NC) clients. The general aim of the project is to boost the economy
within the rural areas of Ontario.
To achieve the aim of this aim, several analyses are carried out as follows;
Data analysis
Paired samples t test was used to compare population means for two samples drawn from the
same population (Van Hout, 2017). The independent samples t test was used for comparing
sample means from different populations (Pandis, 2015).
Descriptive analysis
The mean effectiveness value of one to one consultation is 3.1684, implying that on average, one
to one consultation is effective. The standard deviation is about 0.9188 implying that the data are
closely concentrated around the mean.
The mean effectiveness value of workshops is 3.2753, implying that on average, workshops are
effective. The standard deviation is about 0.9287 implying that the data are closely concentrated
around the mean.

Funding
Satsisfaction
The correlation coefficient between funding and satisfaction after consultation is 0.99502
implying that funding positively affects satisfaction. An increase in funding by 1 unit results to a
corresponding increase in satisfaction by about 0.99502 units.
Mean difference: Satisfaction prior to receiving consultation and after receiving
consultation
We test the hypothesis;
