The evaluation of AgriRisk Initiatives Program was undertaken by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's (AAFC) Office of Audit and Evaluation (OAE) as part of the 2016-17 to 2020-21 Departmental Evaluation Plan. The results of this evaluation are intended to inform future program and policy decisions. AgriRisk is a new program offered under Growing Forward 2 (GF2), the five-year (2013-14 to 2017-18) federal-provincial-territorial Multilateral Framework Agreement for Canada's agricultural and agri-food sector. As part of changes to Business Risk Management (BRM) coverage, AgriRisk was designed to facilitate the development and adoption of new private sector or producer-funded agricultural risk management products, tools and services, outside of those available under BRM programs. AgriRisk encourages partnerships among governments and the private sector to develop and deliver new risk management tools and services addressing agricultural business risks"--Executive summary, p. 2.
