A report into the achievements of Communities First and issues that have affected its progress.
The key elements of the evaluation have been:
- at a programme level, to draw out lessons for managing a non-prescriptive programme
- at a qualitative level, to undertake a process-based evaluation that looks at how the policy is being delivered and whether it is achieving its objectives whilst also recognising the need to establish baselines and devise a longer term evaluation framework
- to set the evaluation of the programme and the achievements in the context of the lifetime of the programme.
