EVALUATING COMMUNITY-BASED INITIATIVES
The Fall 2003 issue of “The Evaluation Exchange” periodical is now available on the Harvard Family Research Project website. The latest issue addresses the evolving nature of evaluating community-based initiatives. It explores lessons learned during the past decade of community building and their implications. Experienced and insightful authors investigate critical issues surfacing in the community-building arena, including: What innovative approaches can we take to capture the breadth and complexity of community-based initiatives? How should we address the need for greater scientific rigor in our evaluations? How can evaluators and funders build on the self-assessment techniques that community-based organizations already have in place?
