This report 'The Evaluation of the Settlement Services Pilots' describes an evaluation of pilot projects that were set up to provide for the settlement needs of new migrants and the resettlement of refugees. Excluding the six-week orientation programme for Refugee Quota arrivals, this was the first time for a considerable period that the government had expressly set out to meet the needs of new arrivals in New Zealand.
Methodology
Where possible, and in many cases it was, output and outcome information was collected from projects. However, this latter information is only partial and it is recommended that the outputs and outcomes achieved by the projects be collated at the end of the piloting process. The main methods used were analysis of project files and reports, face to face interviews with key stakeholders, and focus groups with project participants.
