Monitoring and reporting – Regional Infrastructure Fund

Kānoa also assesses the impacts and outcomes of the fund through application, recipient reporting, and evaluation.

Data on the progress of the fund, and where funding is allocated, is collected by Kānoa through the application process, contract management, and regular recipient reporting during the course of projects and at project completion. This data enables Kānoa to regularly monitor and report on progress internally, to Ministers, and to the public. 

The following are reports on progress so far. These are updated and added to as the fund progresses. Earlier versions of these reports are available below.
