Strong Family, Strong Communities Co-Design Evaluation July 23

A compendium report developed by AHO Research & Analysis, summarising findings from an independent evaluation of co-designed programs. 

The evaluation looked at programs that the AHO co-delivered with four Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOS) from 2019-2021.

The purpose of the evaluation was to build an evidence base on what successful and culturally appropriate co-design looks like in the context of designing programs and services with Aboriginal communities.

The report found that the AHO successfully co-designed programs with ACCOs by championing self-determination, flexibility, and investment in local strengths. 

Evaluation was undertaken by Aboriginal consultancy Cox Inall Ridgeway.
