Slide 14
The next steps: Case study selection? What geographical split
do we want? Even Local Authority split? North/South? Equal number
for each PO region? What sector do we want to evaluate?
Energy/Water/Transport/Food/Other? Does this matter? Issue how do
you consistently categories sectors? Do we only want to look at
case studies in the inception stage? How do you baseline projects
that are completed? Should funding dictate whether a project is
selected/evaluated? Do you only want to work with community groups
that have KPIs? Direct/Indirect KPIs, do KPIs matter? Can we rely
on proxies? Are we interested in maximum diversity of coverage? Do
we want to compare and contrast community projects? September 3,
