Interim Resource Management Assistance (IRMA) Program Evaluation Report (Macleod Institute, December 2000)
29 December 2000Report
The Macleod Institute evaluated the Interim Resource Management Assistance (IRMA) Program, a four-year federal-territorial initiative (1997-2001) providing funding to Aboriginal communities in unsettled land claim areas of the western NWT to participate in resource management decision-making. The evaluation found IRMA's mandate remains relevant given ongoing land claim settlements, increased industrial activity, and legal requirements for Aboriginal consultation, though the program achieved increased engagement in regulatory processes better than capacity building, and recommended continued support with emphasis on capacity development, flexible funding formulas, and proactive baseline studies.
