At the beginning, it helps the group decide on goals and strategies. Later, the evaluation team can document the community's progress towards its goals. Communities often have a local support system, which might include things such as financial resources or service networks, which help make it possible for the initiative to make a difference in the community. Community evaluation can help communities recognize their own abilities to bring about change, and then to act on that knowledge. The community is in a partnership with the evaluation team, with both working together to understand and improve the initiative. Communities identify and mobilize existing resources to bring about changes, and members also help document them. By documenting these community or systems changes, community evaluation can prompt community members and leadership to discover where change is (and should be) occurring. When communities are not making things happen, however, the role of the community evaluation team may shift to making the initiative accountable for its actions. When not much happens over a long period, for example, evaluation information can be used to encourage leaders of the initiative to change what's going on. In extreme cases, community initiatives may be encouraged to change the leadership of the initiative. Finally, renewal of funding — and bonuses and dividends — can be based on evidence of progress, with intermediate and longer-term outcomes. | | Keywords : | | - evaluation theory ,evaluation theory
