Commitment to participation in programs
Commitment to participate in voluntary intervention/diversion programs. This includes participation and completion rates as well the nature of that participation e.g.highly engaged or passive participation.
Outcomes
Diversion
-
Individuals at risk of becoming violent extremists have access to and use programs and services that divert them away from violent extremism
Commitment to participate in a CVE program covers participation and completion rates as well as the nature of that participation e.g. highly engaged vs passive. Intervention services could include a range of assistance, some of which could be labelled as CVE-specific, while other services may be more generic and part of a mix of approaches. Capabilities to deliver interventions cover funding, staffing levels, current demands for existing services and the skills and experience of staff.
Ways to measure
See the Countering Violence Extremism Evaluation Indicator Document [Pp 97-101] for practical suggestions on ways to measure such as survey instruments, example questions and using administrative data.
- Qualitative measures including interviews, surveys, proportion of individuals who consent to attending a program, and those who do attend and complete a program.
- Case notes could be used to examine how engaged and active a client is when attending a program, and whether there have been any observed behavioural changes as a result of participation.
