A three-step action process:
Opening phase - to evaluate the ways in which the Project has fulfilled the ambition set for the initiative at its inception. In the spirit of developmental evaluation, so as to ensure not only information generation, but educated reflection and knowledge transfer to participants, an accent is on engaging as many stakeholders as possible not only as sources of ‘data’ for evaluation, but to co-create the research focus and design.
First step - to determine what indicators should apply to assess the evolution and outcome of the initiative – matched to ambition as perceived by the various stakeholders. A multi-source assessment methodology is proposed with engaging with people and other sources with a stake in the venture.
Such
discussion will be part of a virtuous
circle of evaluation.
First step - to understand through
partnership interaction what to ask and how to ask it.
Second step - to
revisit these ‘sites of data’ to be
able to pursue the inquiry in depth.
Feeding back as a third partnership interaction:
to local authority as well as Marsh Farm participants – in focus group format
to capture reactions to what has been discovered to consolidate and ‘reality
check’ emergent lessons learned.
This
third phase will be linked to an evaluation of Organisation Workshop.
