webgraphicProve it!(NEF)
In partnership with Groundwork and Barclays plc, nef has developed a method to evaluate community regeneration projects that engages all those who are interested in improving their surroundings. The spirit of prove it! is about keeping evaluation simple, manageable and possible within the limited resources that small–scale projects have available to them. An approach involving data collection methods that are fun and easy to use can encourage ownership of the project and make it more likely that evaluation becomes part of the culture of an organisation, rather than a burden.
