Evaluating Community Projects - a practical guide
These guidelines were initially developed as part of the JRF
Neighbourhood Programme. This programme is made up of 20
community or voluntary organisations all wanting to exercise a
more strategic influence in their neighbourhood. The guidelines
were originally written to help these organisations evaluate
their work. They provide step-by-step advice on how to evaluate
a community project which will be of interest to a wider
audience. |
