Getting to Know REM
• Process
• Demonstration
• Coding and using the data
• Limitations and suggestions
![Page 4: Using Ripple Effects Mapping to Evaluate Community ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020916/61b4bba1ff33c81723084f3d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Purposes
Intended and unintendedresults of a program for
individuals, groups, or communities.
![Page 5: Using Ripple Effects Mapping to Evaluate Community ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020916/61b4bba1ff33c81723084f3d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Benefits
• Effective process for reflection (important but not always done!)
• Captures impact of complex or evolving work
• Participatory and appreciative approach that engages stakeholders
• Group validation of results
![Page 6: Using Ripple Effects Mapping to Evaluate Community ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020916/61b4bba1ff33c81723084f3d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why It’s Helpful
• Complex community programs often build social capital, but don’t get credit.
• Strengthened social capital is a necessary pre-condition for other impacts.
• Ripple effects may not be evident for months or even years.

Three Approaches
One Ripple at a Time(Hansen & Higgins)
Theming 1st, Ripple 2nd
(Chazdon)
Community Capitals(Emery)
• Round robin• Invite others to
add to what is being shared
• One story at a time is ripplemapped
• Code to CCF
• Round robinto list what happened
• Develop themes
• Ripples identified
• Start by listing impacts
• Code to CCF on spider graph, starting with short-term impacts
![Page 11: Using Ripple Effects Mapping to Evaluate Community ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020916/61b4bba1ff33c81723084f3d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Process Steps
• Identify the intervention
• Schedule the event & invite participants
• Hold group mapping session
• Follow-up interviews
• Cleaning, Coding, Analysis

Appreciative Inquiry Interview
Tell me a story about how you have used the information from the program?
Is there anything that resulting from the program that you are proud to share?
List an achievement or a success you had based on what you learned.
(Cooperider, 2008)

Coding to Community Capitals Framework
![Page 21: Using Ripple Effects Mapping to Evaluate Community ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020916/61b4bba1ff33c81723084f3d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Limitations / Suggestions
Risk of bias in participant selection
Risk of bias in recording & reporting impacts
Put effort into recruitment
Share the credit
Use 3rd party facilitator
![Page 22: Using Ripple Effects Mapping to Evaluate Community ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020916/61b4bba1ff33c81723084f3d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Limitations / Suggestions
Inconsistent implementation
Use same facilitator, recorder and “mapper”
Develop a facilitator guide with prompts and probes
![Page 23: Using Ripple Effects Mapping to Evaluate Community ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020916/61b4bba1ff33c81723084f3d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Limitations / Suggestions
Participants may not have complete information
Sharing the data
Follow-up with interviews to get details and connect with key participants
Poster-sized maps for communities
![Page 24: Using Ripple Effects Mapping to Evaluate Community ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020916/61b4bba1ff33c81723084f3d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Limitations / Suggestions
Difficult to balance breadth and depth
Facilitator must be experienced
Gather details later
Keep three key things you want to know in mind…

Three Key Things
1. What participants learned
2. What participants did
3. How things changed as a result
