Title:	Making Local Strategies Work
Authors:	Jonathan Potter
Keywords:	Strategies Work
Issue Date:	2008
Publisher:	OECD
Description:	In this book, we examine how to gather and use evidence to build more successful local development strategies, strategies that will better accommodate local area needs, capitalise on local area potentials and bring together a range of local stakeholders. It sets out the principles of developing evidence-based local strategies and discusses how to deal with difficult issues where they arise. As such, it contributes to the efforts of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to foster a culture of evaluation and evidence-based policy making in local development through the activities of its Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Programme. The book focuses in particular on the major issues and principles involved in evidence-based strategy making rather than on the technical details, which are the subject of numerous evaluation manuals. It can therefore be used either alone, as an introduction to the issues and principles, or in conjunction with evaluation manuals, in order to go deeper in understanding the purposes and approaches behind evaluation and evidencebased strategy making.
