​​​Community Check Box (CCB)

Welcome to the Community Check Box (CCB), a web-based recording, measurement, and reporting tool for your community work. The CCB helps practitioners document their work, including bringing about community and systems change (defined as new or modified programs, policies, or practices related to the group's goals). The CCB also helps practitioners share their change efforts and success stories with funders and other stakeholders. More fundamentally, the CCB serves as a tool to help communities better understand and improve their efforts for change.

The CCB helps community and research partners to answer important questions such as:

  • What are we accomplishing?
  • Are we bringing about changes in communities and systems?
  • What factors or processes enhance our change efforts?
  • How are community/system changes contributing to improvement in community-level outcomes?

The CCB includes supports for:

  • Documenting changes in communities and systems (e.g., new or modified programs and policies related to the effort)
  • Analyzing the distribution of changes (e.g., by goal addressed)
  • Uncovering factors associated with increases/ decreases in the rate of change
  • Tracking changes in Community-level Indicators (e.g., rates of childhood immunizations)
  • Online and print graphs about the initiative and its impact
  • Online generation of customizable PDF reports that can easily be created for stakeholders

Features of the CCB​:

  • Integrated resources for evaluation, technical support, and co-learning
  • Customized measures and analyses for documentation and feedback
  • Same system can meet the evaluation needs of multiple audiences
  • Promotes community participation and direct access to their evaluation information
  • Allows for instant feedback and real-time graphs
  • Information on accomplishments can be used to secure resources and assure accountability
  • Encourages participatory evaluation and co-learning among partners​
