Research
Community-based work is full of challenges. Questions include: How to do it? What lessons have been learned ? Are there key elements that contribute to successes ? How to sustain community programs and scale them up to the regional or national level ? How to build a global network of successful communities that can teach others? To answer these questions, Future Generations builds upon global scholarship and draws upon a century of experience. In the early 1990s, Future Generations worked with two international task forces that researched the successes of community change. A pattern emerged from this global experience, a pattern long functioning but not fully articulated. This pattern of community change was named SEED-SCALE, Self-Evaluation for Effective Decisionmaking—Systems for Communities to Adapt Learning and Expand. Based on a review of global evidence, SEED-SCALE offers key principles, practical steps, and evaluation criteria that can be used by communities worldwide. It also shows how to sustain community change and how pilot projects can become regional action learning and experimentation sites that train more communities. The pattern of SEED-SCALE was first presented in two monographs at the 1995 United Nations Summit in
