2009 Impact and Effectiveness of ANA Projects Report to Congress

The mission of the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) is to promote self-sufficiency and cultural preservation by providing social and economic development opportunities to eligible tribes and native communities, including American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islander organizations. ANA provides funding and technical assistance for community-based projects that are designed to improve the lives of native children and families and reduce long-term dependency on public assistance.

Each year, ANA visits grantees to conduct impact evaluations on ANA-funded projects. This report includes a brief overview of each project visited in 2009, and provides comprehensive results on the impact ANA funding has on Native American communities.

The impact evaluation process enables ANA to make data-driven decisions that enhance ANA services and, in turn, increase ANA project success. As this report demonstrates, ANA grant funding continues to be an effective vehicle for encouraging the self-sufficiency and cultural preservation of Native American communities
