Evaluating Community Collaborations

This book is about collaborations, which bring organizations together in a community to implement or to improve an innovative program or change a policy or procedure, which has become a central strategy for promoting community change. Funders require them; nonprofit see the as useful solutions to their problems of declining resources and increasing complexity (including multicultural issues); and communities demand them as evidence that key stakeholders are coming together to address problems of mutual concern. Moreover, no matter how powerful the concept, the implementation of community collaborations can usually be improved. The evalution of collaborations can provide evidence of outcome and impact, and can help improve the process by which the collaborations operate.Backer, Thomas E. is the author of 'Evaluating Community Collaborations' with ISBN 9780826121851 and ISBN 0826121853.
