Planning for Community-based EvaluationUniversity of Toronto, Department of Health Administration, HIV Social, Behavioural and Epidemiological Studies Unit, McMurrich Building, 2nd Floor, 12 Queens Park Crescent West, Toronto, Canada, rhonda.cockerill{at}utoronto.ca
We present a planning guide that can be used to improve community-based evaluation. The planning guide consists of a set of questions that need to be discussed with all stakeholders. It covers issues relating to the nature and purpose of a community-based evaluation project, research methods and approaches, participation and decision-making, conflict and conflict resolution, and dissemination and use of results. The planning guide was developed through our experiences in an HIV/AIDS research and evaluation unit and a review of the literature. If community-based evaluators keep in mind the questions in this planning guide and discuss them early on with stakeholders, the evaluation process should benefit.
