    3. NEAR Project context Primary Care sector funding reform DHS-OHP planning & reporting Narrative + Reach/satisfaction/impact/outcome measures Practitioners expressed need HP planning & evaluation workforce dev Capacity building- key OHP priority

    4. NEAR Project intention Build the capacity of C&WH agencies Evaluate, review, develop, document & report on OHP programming Application of narrative evaluation & action research methods

    5. Integrating narrative evaluation & action research Illuminate HP programming & practice through the creation of stories Embed within an action research spiral Facilitate HP program & practice development by linking: action/reflection/questioning/conclusion/option generation/new action

    6. Integrating methods Broader enquiry gaze Context sensitive Give ‘voice’ to stakeholders Adjunct to statistical methods

    7. Dreams How can we lead the systemic building of narrative evaluation capacity across the C&WH sector ?

    9. NEAR CAPACITY BUILDING MODEL Workforce development (in situ) Learning by doing Collective evaluation knowledge & skills development Organisational development (in situ) Systematic cyclical evaluation, dev & doc of HP programs Meet DHS planning and reporting requirements Internal evaluation training capacity Evaluation culture

    12. Phase 1: NEAR Pilot Objectives Develop HP narrative and action research program evaluation practices & processes Produce ‘Train the trainer’ toolkit/manual Produce IHP narrative evaluation case-studies Facilitate critical reflection on implementation

    13. Phase 1: EOI selection process Preconditions Management support Line manager/practitioner work group Staff release OHPP Capacity building priority HP priority/program for trial evaluation Supporting rationale
