| Annotation | As intergenerational studies and programmes continue to develop, so thought needs to be given to their evaluation, which will provide evidence to funders of aims achieved. The intergenerational field needs to strengthen evaluation in three particular areas: the rapidly growing number of small, community-based schemes will need to focus on measuring outcomes of one or two key objectives and use previously developed instruments; larger regional or national programmes developed to demonstrate solutions to social problems must focus on evaluating their impact based on clearly defined objectives related to these problems; and the intergenerational field must strengthen its overall evaluation capacity by increasing professional evaluation skills through the articulation of competencies and provision of appropriate training. |
