Monitoring, evaluation and reviewing
The Shared City Partnership will produce an agreed monitoring and evaluation framework for cohesion and belonging, including critical targets, timeframes and monitoring information required.
Key monitoring and evaluation themes will include:
- Awareness of others and improved attitude and behaviour of communities toward others and towards public agencies and government.
- Improved sense of belonging of participants in their own communities.
- Further enhanced trust of public agencies across the community.
- Enhanced health and well-being.
- Education and work.
Monitoring will be built into the planning stages of all activities to facilitate baseline measurement, the agreement of indicators, and agreement on how the information is collected by staff or strategic partners.
As such, each year the Partnership will oversee a baseline audit of key statistics for each programme to provide a snapshot of attitudes relevant to the target group for each programme.
The Shared City Partnership will provide an annual assessment of cohesion in the city to full council including progress and barriers to progress.
The Shared City Partnership will provide regular challenge to us and other public agencies.
We will work alongside Queen's University and the Global Peace Index Network on developing a framework for the assessment of a positive peace index for Belfast.
