Engaging Queenslanders: evaluating community engagement
Summary
The purpose of Engaging Queenslanders: Evaluating community engagement is to assist public officials at all levels to evaluate community engagement activities.
This resource recognises that the process of evaluation can vary from a relatively small but purposeful assessment of a program to a more formalised evaluation study. Rather than presenting a prescriptive approach, this resource encourages good judgement in matching the methods of evaluation with the objectives of the engagement program.
It provides guidance in:
•developing an evaluation framework
•developing evaluation data collection tools
•interpreting and analysing evaluation data
•ensuring evaluation outcomes feed into future planning and decision-making
