We’re excited to announce that The Improve Group won the prestigious President’s Management Agenda (PMA) Learning Agenda Challenge from Challenge.gov! In our July newsletter, we shared we were selected as a top three finalist among applicants across the U.S. submitting plans for developing a toolkit that would help government agencies develop and measure the effectiveness of their Public Participation and Community Engagement (PPCE) strategies. We officially submitted our toolkit on Friday, August 2.
Our team used lessons learned from our 24 years in the evaluation field to create this toolkit that supports equitable community engagement and evaluation capacity building. It's an honor to be selected and we look forward to seeing how this toolkit will be adopted and evolve within each agency across the U.S.! While we are celebrating this award now, we invite you to stay tuned for more details on the toolkit soon.
