In
June 2000, the Centre for Cross Border Studies was commissioned
by the CAWT Management Board to undertake an independent
evaluation of the CAWT organisation. The evaluation, which
was prepared at a time when CAWT was actively considering
its future role, aimed to serve three main functions:
- the need
for accountability to the border population, stakeholder
organisations and funders;
- the need
to assess the extent to which the co-operation process
has been fully embedded into the mainstream health
and social care structures of the four health boards;
- the need
to identify ways in which the experiences of CAWT could
be used to inform future cross-border working/ projects.
CAWT (an acronym
for Co-operation And Working Together) was initiated
in 1992 with the Ballyconnell Agreement between
the North Eastern and North Western Health Boards in the
Republic of Ireland and the Southern and Western Health and
Social Services Boards in Northern Ireland.
