Il présente un cadre général qui couvre les répercussions possibles des programmes de formation en ACE et les facteurs d’intérêt connexes. Il est prévu que le projet La mesure du succès utilisera des outils d’évaluation standardisés pour mesurer certains résultats et facteurs, mais se contentera de noter les autres.
