Public participation in policymaking: exploring and understanding impact
Through a review of academic literature and engagement with expert stakeholders in the field of participatory and deliberative democracy, this report explores how impact from public participation processes is conceptualised, occurs in practice, and might be better evaluated in a government setting.
Appendix A: Evaluation Framework – workshop with Scottish Government's Open Government civil society participation sub group
The aim of this workshop was to explore different ways to evaluate the various impacts which can arise from public participation processes. Drawing on the group's expertise, knowledge and practice experience we considered what is important when trying to understand impact and the different methods and tools which might be useful for doing so. The session took place online, lasting for one hour. During this time, we drew on an adapted version of KNOCA's Impact Evaluation Framework for Climate Assemblies.
