Strong Roots evaluation

Strong Roots evaluation

Icaro undertook a formative evaluation of Cynnal Cymru’s Strong Roots pilot training programme.

The training is designed to increase the capacity of community and town councils to both lead and support sustainable development and to partner the Welsh Government in its commitment to the development of sustainable, resilient, low-carbon communities.

The project is delivered in partnership by Cynnal Cymru-Sustain Wales, One Voice Wales and The Climate Change Consortium Wales.

Cynnal Cymru-Sustain Wales is the sustainable development forum for Wales. They are a networking organisation which enables people to learn from each other and discover interesting good practice projects in Wales. They work with specialist bodies to further the understanding of the principles of sustainable development and the evidence that supports its adoption as a core organising principle.

The evaluation of the pilot training sessions involved observation, post-event questionnaires and follow up depth interviews to feedback on the course and identify changes for the short, medium and long term.
