Women's Spirit Project: evaluating community activism

The proposed evaluation framework will draw on a multi-method approach to capture data on the Women's Spirit Project process as well as the experience of and outcomes for participants. Data will be collected from three groups of participants, those in the project-working group, mentors within the program and members of the targeted vulnerable population, and at three points, namely pre-program, mid-program and after the completion of the program. The evaluation will utilise a range of methods including document analysis, participant surveys, interviews and focus groups, and non-participant observations.
