- Abstract:
This study investigates the implementation of the Nutrition North Canada (NNC)-funded cooking circle program in the Inuvialuit (Inuit) hamlet of Paulatuk, Northwest Territories. The objectives of this study are to co-develop a culturally relevant logic model and to conduct a process evaluation of program implementation to identify and assess key enablers and barriers. The co-developed Mukluk Logic Model played an instrumental role in the conceptualization of the process evaluation. The process evaluation results indicated that the long-standing sustainability of the program is related to the consistency of program funding, engaging facilitation practices, and creative utilization of the multi-purpose space for program activities. However, significant barriers limit program sustainability. These include funding amounts and distribution, space and equipment limitations, and human resources challenges. This study illustrates the utility of qualitative process evaluation research in a Canadian Arctic community context and generates important place-based knowledge and insights to better support northern community-based food preparation programs.

- Abstract:
Cette étude traite de la mise en œuvre des ateliers de cuisine financé par Nutrition Nord Canada (NNC) dans le village Inuvialuit (Inuit) de Paulatuk, Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Les objectifs de l'étude sont : 1) de co-concevoir un modèle de logique culturellement pertinent; et 2) d'évaluer la mise en œuvre du programme (processus) en ce qui concerne les principaux éléments favorables et défavorables. Le modèle de logique Mukluk, mis au point de façon collective, a joué un rôle instrumental dans la conceptualisation de l'évaluation du processus. Les résultats de l'évaluation du processus indiquent que la durabilité à long terme du programme est liée à l'uniformité du financement du programme, à des pratiques d'animation participative et à l'utilisation créative de l'espace à usages multiples pour les activités du programme. Cependant, il y a des obstacles importants à la durabilité du programme. Il est notamment question du montant du financement et de sa distribution, des limites en matière d'espace et de matériel et de défis liés aux ressources humaines. L'étude illustre l'utilité de recherches d'évaluation à processus qualitatif dans un contexte de communauté de l'Arctique canadien et génère des connaissances et des conclusions importantes qui pourraient servir à mieux appuyer les programmes de préparation d'aliments fondés sur la communauté, dans le Nord.
