<p>This book offers a progress report on work accomplished over the last few years in comprehensive community initiatives (CCIs), a relatively new approach to community revitalization. Connell and Kubisch define a theory of change approach to CCI evaluation and describe steps stakeholders can follow to carry one out. Several practitioners share their experiences with the theory of change approach, together providing an up-to-date portrait of the field. The book provides an overview for understanding how to apply the approach and examples of its benefits and challenges. It offers new insights and information which can help CCI stakeholders approach the evaluation enterprise with greater confidence that the result will meet their various needs.</p>

Across the country, an increasing number of people are engaged in comprehensive community revitalization initiatives (CCIs)--they include foundation sponsors, directors, technical assistance providers, evaluators, and public sector officials. This book describes the goals, principles, and operational strategies of CCIs and distills some of the early lessons that are being learned by those who are designing, implementing, and evaluating these initiatives. It focuses on the tensions that inevitably emerge in carrying out a complex initiative and explores in depth two such tensions: the tensions between process and product and between insiders and outsiders. Based on a series of eleven focus group discussions with almost 100 participants in CCIs, ranging from funders to community residents, the book explores and captures the wisdom of those who are actively engaged in CCIs today. The activities that led to the production of this book were led by Anne C. Kubisch, director of The Aspen Institute Roundtable on Comprehensive Community Initiatives. She was joined by a team of six people throughout the project: Janice Hirota and Michelle Roberts from the Roundtable staff at The Aspen Institute; Prudence Brown, Robert Chaskin, and Mark Joseph from the Chapin Hall Center for Children at the University of Chicago; and Harold Richman, who belongs to both organizations.
