Evaluation Framework Training - Delivered with LGPro WA

Introductory Course

Overview

Local governments make a significant difference to the wellbeing of their communities through community development work. The outcomes of community development work, however, are often less tangible than other activities and can be more challenging to measure than the outputs associated with other services. Throughout the program, participants will have the opportunity to apply evaluation planning and measurement tools to their own projects and programs, while also exploring other examples of evaluation practice from the community development sector.

Who should attend

This course is designed to equip individuals working towards community development outcomes with the practical skills to effectively measure the impact of their work.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will build an understanding of:

  • The impact of community development work

  • The value of measuring outcomes and impacts

  • The different types of evaluation

  • Key terminology in evaluation
