Overview

 

Paul Duignan is a public sector outcomes, measurement, evaluation and strategy expert. His major achievements include the following. Being the sole winner of the 2005 New Zealand Fulbright Senior Scholar Award (based at the Urban Institute in Washington D.C.). Establishing one of the first postgraduate papers in program evaluation in New Zealand in his position as Senior Lecturer at the University of Auckland. Close involvement in various aspects of the transition of the New Zealand public sector from its outputs-orientation to a more outcomes-orientation from 2000 onwards. Teaching thousands people from community groups, larger non-for-profits and government departments how to better measure outcomes and how to evaluate the success of their programs. Working with international organizations such as the IMF, UNFPA, ILO, Asian Development Bank and others on aspects of strategy and training in regard to evaluation and outcomes measurement. Early promotion of expanding the use of the internet to groups that needed assistance in its uptake (e.g. public health and community sectors). This included initiating the Public Health World Wide Web Project (PHWN) and writing the successful grant application for the establishment of the Access Grid internet nodes in all the major New Zealand Universities as part of the BRCSS initiative. Involvement in many research priority setting processes (e.g. occupational health, mental health and neuroscience). Serving on many evaluation advisory committees to improve the quality of program evaluation. The most recent being as the Chair of the International Evaluation Advisory Committee for the Healthcare Information for All Project 2015. Plus earlier work in the area of promoting evidence-based alcohol problem prevention strategies leading to (with the input of many other researchers and stakeholders) increased enforcement of drink driving laws and the subsequent major reduction in alcohol crash fatalities and injuries.
