Monitoring and Evaluating Community Planning & Development
Monitoring is like doing a check-up of your car – you need to make sure the tires and engine are good so you can keep driving. Monitoring helps the NLC keep on track and heading towards goals set by Traditional Owners.
NLC is using a monitoring system to track progress of its Community Planning and Development Program. In early 2022 NLC will use a new monitoring and evaluation framework.
DjarranDjarrany Native Title Holders, NLC and La Trobe University will measure well being at Legune to see the long-term impact of Project Sea Dragon.
Over three years (2019 - 2022) NLC project partners worked together to create the new framework. The new framework ensures greater accountability and imbeds participatory monitoring. Monitoring provides feedback to Aboriginal groups so they can make stronger decisions.
