Abstract
AbstractThe evaluation work package in SUITS focussed on capacity development in local authorities. It assessed how they adapted and improved their performance on key challenges linked to their sustainable mobility measures, through impact and process evaluation. The main focus of the impact evaluation was on the outputs and outcomes–the changes in performance and capacity in the local authorities in implement sustainable mobility measures. This was done through a self-assessment survey of organisation capacity in addressing key challenges, completed by personnel in each local authority. It was also necessary to link these changes in capacity to the ‘inputs’ of the project–the Capacity Building Programme and the Organisation Change Programme–and demonstrate the impact of the project, as it is not satisfactory to presume a causal link between the intervention and perceived outcomes. Process evaluation focussed on the change process undergone in the local authorities. The stages of change the organisations went through and, in particular, the barriers and drivers encountered during the capacity development process were assessed. The results of the evaluation programme showed increased capacity in ability to plan and implement sustainable mobility measures. This was directly attributable to the capacity building and organisation change programme of the project.KeywordsImpact evaluationCapacity assessmentProcess evaluation
