Program
Evaluation
This Plan sets aside $100,000
to continue our rolling program of ex post project evaluations.
In 2002–2003 sub-program
3.4 – Rice – is being evaluated and results are anticipated for public
release in the September quarter of this calendar year.
The previous evaluation results
for 2001–2002 addressed sub-program 2.2 – Agroforestry and Farm Forestry
– and results were presented in RIRDC’s Annual Report for that year.
In 2003–2004 RIRDC will conduct
the full evaluation of sub-program 1.1 – New Plant Products.
Notification
of Significant Events
The Corporation has reviewed this Plan in terms of section

defines a particular class of proposal as ‘significant’ and notifiable
to Ministers. The Corporation confirms, in the context of section 15, that
there are no ‘significant’ proposals in this Plan that should be drawn
to the attention of Ministers.
