Family Violence Initiative Evaluation, Final Report

APPENDIX B: Summary of Document Review

Thirty projects were examined. These included interim and project summary reports, project funding applications and agreements, and final reports and deliverables. These documents were then summarized in terms of objectives, target population, activities, challenges, partners, next steps, impacts, and communication methods and targets. The projects were then categorized and grouped in each of these aspects. Categories were initially based on the logic model presented in the methodology report, and were expanded and adjusted to more suitably fit the information and data presented by the project documents. In cases where there was insufficient data or information to categorize a project, it is stated as such. Programs with multiple project numbers (multi-phase projects) were combined. The tables are provided below.

The projects are identified in the tables by their project numbers. Projects with multiple phases are identified with the first project number listed. A listing of the projects with their names and numbers follows:
