Current projects - Winter 2023
Evaluation of the Freeports Programme
Freeports are special areas within the UK’s borders where different economic regulations apply. By delivering investment on specific sites benefitting from tax and customs incentives, Freeports will create thousands of high-quality jobs in some of our most disadvantaged communities. I am working with Technopolis and Arup Consulting to deliver the second year of an evaluation of the Freeports Programme for Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
Mapping government action on Nature
Working with ICF Consulting to map and assess government action on a) Thriving Plants and Wildlife Targets in England and b) agri-environment schemes in Northern Ireland for the Office of Environmental Protection.
Optimising Evaluation Systems
The Youth Endowment Fund (a what works organisation) is moving into the second half of its 10 year endowment. I am working directly with YEF to support them to reiew and optimise their internal evaluation systems. We are developing a new work process to navigate development and scoping of complex evaluations and ensure staff understand how to progress from opportunity identification through to commissioning and co-design of efficacy studies
