The deputy minister explained to us that there's no reporting requirement for grants. The person or organization receiving the grant is not expected to report on results.
Would it be better to have some idea of what's being done? Grant recipients could say they invested here and did this thing and achieved a particular outcome. Even if that wasn't the desired outcome, it was progress. At least there would be a sense of what can be achieved and of being on the path to a transition. Just because a desired outcome wasn't achieved doesn't mean there wasn't any progress. Okay.
The point is, why aren't we asking for any follow-up on grants?
