WE Do it right.
Community Development
Our framework is a cycle of understanding, engagement, genuine co-design, delivery and reflection. It is an evidence and strength based approach, built on 20 years of experience working alongside First Nations people and communities.
Story of Change
This is the theory we work to. When we hold self-determination at the heart of all we do, First Nations people lead the way in creating more for youth, stronger economic and education outcomes, safer communities and stronger healthier lives.
Participatory Monitoring
& Evaluation
Making sure we deliver on what communities are asking is a top priority. We monitor and evaluate all projects using a participatory approach. Communities tell us what success looks like in the short term, and the long term. We then work closely with communities to track progress towards these goals.
The monitoring and evaluation (M&E) undertaken with the Littlewell Working Group in 2014-15 was one of the first examples for Community First Development of applying the participatory approach and new monitoring system to co-design short and long term indicators of change with communities, monitor them throughout the project cycle and assess effectiveness at the end.
