Evaluating Collaboration

Abstract

Collaborations are a different way of working and thus require a different approach to evaluation. The focus in collaborations is building relationships and processes that enable organisations to work together in different ways to produce creative or innovative solutions to 'wicked problems'. When evaluating collaborations, the aim is to assess these relationships and processes and how they facilitate both the collaboration and its outcomes. The ARACY Networks have been established to support our work in building cross-sector collaborations capable of implementing action that addresses the complex problems impacting the wellbeing of children and youth in Australia. The six Networks focus on exchanging knowledge and facilitating long-term working relationships and collaborative efforts between sectors and agencies.
