Case management and financial data within the ASEP projects are instrumental in determining how the projects are being implemented, the progression on their plan, the success of the project and the ASEP program overall. [...] The implementation of the existing ASEP projects demonstrated that the capacity of the x Formative Evaluation of the Aboriginal Skills and Employment Partnership Program governing structure and staff is instrumental to the successful implementation of the ASEP project. [...] Within the first months of the project start up it is extremely important to develop the capacity of the partners and an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the incorporated partnership and its governing structure. [...] As identified in the previous key finding, in order to mitigate the overlap with existing opportunities, AAD works with partners to help ensure a complete understanding of the programs and services available in the targeted communities and how the ASEP projects complement and build on existing programs and services in the communities. [...] AAD will work closely with the partners, Service Canada, the AHRDAs and the provinces/territories to establish adequate case management and financial systems from the start up of new projects and provide partnerships with the support and training required to adequately capture the data and report on investments.
