Community Fund Quality and Efficiency Evaluation

Problem

Final evaluations of community development fund projects often measure delivered activities rather than durable governance outcomes. This skill is aimed at Chengdu urban and rural community development and governance fund projects, and focuses on whether a project shifts from buying service activities to buying sustainable governance outcomes, reducing promotional summaries.

How It Works

• Method: Uses the public-benefit product method A+X→B, separating problem origin A, intervention X, and public-benefit product B, while distinguishing delivered outputs from future sustainability.
• Scoring: Covers hardware construction, professional entrustment, and resident-led projects, with 10-point ratings for effectiveness and social impact; grade thresholds are fixed.
• Workflow: Follows 11 steps from policy and criteria loading, activity inventory, item scoring, to A+X→B analysis, four-level deliberation, and report assembly.
• Output modes: Supports single-project reports or community-level reports, the latter aggregating multiple projects for cross-project comparison and resource allocation decisions.

Boundaries

• Requires declaration documents, contracts, and settlement materials; missing key evidence limits conclusions.
• Joint, parent-child, or multi-year projects need special handling before scoring.
• Evaluators must check conflicts of interest and cite source materials precisely.
