Towards the Measurement of Empowerment: The Evaluation of Community Development.
Craig, Gary
Journal of the Community Development Society, v33 n1 p124-46 2002
Evaluation of public service programs uses language and techniques inimical to community development. Key elements of a better approach are as follows: (1) community participation; (2) emphasis on qualitative measures of success that complement the quantitative; (3) strong awareness of the importance of process goals; (4) concern with sustainable change; and (5) awareness of power issues.
