Advocacy in the age of compacts: Strengthening the policy development dimension of partnership agreements between government and community organisations

拟议的研究将是评估澳大利亚推出契约的第一次尝试。为了确保新契约继续满足政府和社区组织的需要，必须对其早期运作进行评估，并将评估结果用于建立持续的监测、成果评估和技能建设机制。拟议的项目将协助澳大利亚政府确定契约成果的业绩指标，特别是那些导致社区组织对政策制定作出有效贡献的指标。

The proposed research will be the first attempt to evaluate the roll-out of compacts in Australia. In order to ensure that the new compacts continue to be responsive to the needs of both government and community organisations it is crucial that their early operation be evaluated and the findings used to create ongoing mechanisms for monitoring, outcome evaluation, and skill-building. The proposed project will assist Austraian governments to identify performance indicators for outcomes in the context of the compacts, particularly those that lead to the effective contribution of community organisations in policy development.
