    The document summarizes a formative evaluation of the Living Green in Gannawarra & Surrounds program, which aims to promote more sustainable practices around energy, water, and waste/recycling in rural communities in Victoria, Australia. The evaluation assessed the program's objectives, activities, and outcomes. It found that the program's workshops had limited success due to barriers to behavior change and lack of engagement with the diverse rural community. It recommends taking steps like stakeholder analysis and problem identification to better understand the root causes of issues and design an effective theory of change for community engagement and environmental behavior change.

    ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES


    ACTIVITIES PROCESS OUTCOMES
    LOGICAL FRAMEWORK ➢ Linear model outlining the core Stakeholder Assessment

    CONCLUSIONS
    1. Without taking the preceding steps of clearly identifying the root causes of the core problem causes the
    unclear understanding of the theory of change when a project presupposes a delivery model (i.e.
    workshops)
    2. Lack of distinction between community engagement and behavior change projects.
    3. Unclear process and pathways to change occurring in community engagement
