ACE-Health Impact Evaluation Advisory Panel

The Impact Evaluation Advisory Panel has 8 members. They are renowned experts in impact evaluation and public health.

Members advise the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (DHDA) on impact evaluation. The panel facilitates collaboration and knowledge sharing between academia and the government.

The department and ACE manage the panel, which is currently in a pilot phase. They set up the panel in June 2025. In the future, the panel may expand to help more departments and agencies.
