Our understanding of system conditions for place-based systemic approaches

The National Evaluation and Learning Partnership (NELP) have identified a number of features or ‘conditions’ that may be necessary for place-based approaches to address inequalities. Our understanding of these ‘conditions’ is built on existing literature and the explanations of change developed by those working across Place Partnerships, as reflected in their process evaluations. Each condition is itself made up of a range of activities and ways of working that combine to contribute to positive change. These conditions represent our current understanding, based on existing theory and emerging evidence; however, they may be refined as our understanding of systemic transformation grows.
