We are sharing some initial examples of good practice and aim to get many more from communities across Australia.

These good practice examples include both an evaluation, and an assessment of the evaluation.

Evaluating with Kungkas Can Cook: passion, dedication and clear social purpose
In 2019, Kungkas Can Cook worked with Indigenous Community Volunteers (ICV) on two community development projects: (1) to increase efficiency of financial processes; and, (2) to develop a website that reflects the voice and social purpose of the business.
