History
The Commonwealth Evaluation Community of Practice (CoP) was launched in September 2022. It was open to all Commonwealth officials with a role or an interest in evaluation.
The CoP ran many events and hosted a discussion board on its GovTEAMS community.
The Evaluation Profession will build on the work of the CoP. This includes transitioning to APS Professions from February 2025.
