FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Empowerment Evaluation in the Digital Villages analyzes a $15 million community change initiative designed to bridge the digital divide in East Palo Alto, East Baltimore, and San Diego.

While examining this large-scale, multi-site case, Fetterman highlights the potential for empowerment evaluation to build local capacity and sustain improvements within communities. He provides deep insights into key steps in empowerment evaluation by exploring the way that each of these phases took place in the digital villages.

The Digital Village case also demonstrates the social value of combining corporate philanthropy, academic prowess, and community empowerment-highlighting the role of evaluation in this process.

It provides detailed cases of empowerment evaluation in action that will help practitioners to understand implementation issues, challenges, and the benefits of using this evaluative approach." - Stewart I. Donaldson, Claremont Graduate University, author of Program Theory-Driven Evaluation Science and Coeditor of What Counts as Credible Evidence in Applied Research and Evaluation Practice? "Fetterman presents both positives and pitfalls to stress the lessons learned that had a positive impact on the project outcomes and stakeholders. While each evaluation context is different, the work practices presented in this book will help other evaluators to understand what is possible when they are working in a participatory paradigm." - Lennise Baptiste, M & E Specialist, Caribbean Health Research Council Long Description Empowerment Evaluation in the Digital Villages analyzes a $15 million community change initiative designed to bridge the digital divide in East Palo Alto, East Baltimore, and San Diego.
