Finding innovative and useful measurement practices for community
development projects is gaining in importance as policymakers
increase the demands for accountability. This book examines some of
the latest efforts to document the effectiveness of local
development efforts. The types of documentation differ by types of
project, jurisdiction, and country but they have a common focus of
recognizing the importance of the Community Capitals framework.
Public agencies in the past have often measured development
successes by the number of jobs created and/or amount of private
investment forthcoming. However, the impacts of community
development reach much deeper than those indicators. Strengthening
local decision-making capacity is a common component of development
efforts as is engaging populations that, in the past, have not been
active in decision-making. These and other considerations are
explored in more detail by authors in this volume. Local
policymakers and practitioners will be continually pressured to
provide more documentation of outcomes and readers will gain
considerable insights into alternative approaches that can be
included in projects but can also see the common elements needed to
create a solid measurement system. International insights are a
special strength of the discussions in this book. This book was
published as a special issue of Community Development.
