dc.description.abstractGuided by the principles of Community Engaged Research, this project organized a participatory evaluation design process to create an evaluation model and multi-phased evaluation frameworks for the newly launched BC Non-Profit Network. The design process is centred on involving the budding Network's network partners in decision-making about the evaluation design, treating the network partners as co-researchers whose participation influenced the project's approach, data collection, and analysis process. Through this, the project explores the merits and tensions of applying participatory evaluation to an infant network and its implications on shaping evaluation as a tool for accountability versus learning and community oversight. Set within a BC non-profit sector context, Network-Driven contributes the example of applying recommended network evaluation practices while prioritizing a commitment to community development principles.
