Abstract

Issue addressed: Communication tools have long been used to address complex social policy problems, known as wicked problems, in communities around the world. However, the challenge has remained, how do we measure the impact of social change with communication for development (C4D)? Evaluators recommend utilising evaluation tools that take a wider systems-based approach to assist in the evaluation of C4D projects. Health Communication Resources (HCR) Inc., a health promotion charity that supports C4D projects around the world, aimed to trial a tool to assist evaluation of a project addressing gender inequality, an underlying driver of family violence in the community.

Methods: WickedLab's tool for systemic change was utilised to assist the evaluation of the complex adaptive system. The research team mapped the system that existed in Geraldton working towards addressing the wicked problem of gender inequality.

Results: Mapping the system highlighted how integral C4D actions were in maintaining and strengthening the system as it works together towards gender equality in the community.

Conclusion: A systems-based approach can strengthen evaluation and demonstrates the role C4D projects play in addressing wicked problems in a defined location. SO WHAT?: WickedLab's tool for systemic change provides significant potential for the evaluation of other health promotion and communication for development projects.

案例研究：在西澳大利亚州的一个地区环境中解决家庭暴力问题的邪恶方法。

解决的问题：长期以来，传播工具一直被用于解决世界各地社区的复杂社会政策问题，即所谓的 "恶性问题"。然而，如何衡量传播促进发展（C4D）对社会变革的影响仍然是一个挑战。评估人员建议利用以更广泛的系统为基础的评估工具来协助评估 C4D 项目。健康传播资源公司（HCR）是一家支持全球 C4D 项目的健康促进慈善机构，该公司旨在试用一种工具，以协助评估一个解决性别不平等问题的项目，性别不平等是社区家庭暴力的根本原因：方法：利用 WickedLab 的系统变革工具来协助对复杂适应系统进行评估。研究小组绘制了杰拉尔顿的系统图，该系统致力于解决性别不平等这一邪恶问题：结果：绘制系统图凸显了在共同致力于实现社区性别平等的过程中，C4D 行动在维护和加强系统方面的不可或缺性：以系统为基础的方法可以加强评估，并展示 C4D 项目在解决特定地点的邪恶问题方面所发挥的作用。所以呢？WickedLab 的系统变革工具为其他健康促进和传播促进发展项目的评估提供了巨大的潜力。
