The Big Question• How can SNAP-Ed maximize impact in

communities AND communicate impact to policy makers?• Collective impact models for policy, systems and

environmental change

• Today we will focus on the role of SNAP-Ed• Backbone organization• Shared measurement

• Two Examples• Fresh Bucks (Indiana)• Shape Up Somerville

What is Collective Impact?

Traditional Approaches CI approachSystematic collaboration

• Common Agenda

• Shared Measurement Systems

• Mutually Reinforcing Activities

• Continuous Communication

• Backbone Support Organizations

• Isolated, unsystematic efforts for large scale social change

• Lack of involvement of key stakeholders

SNAP-Ed

The Role of SNAP-Ed - Backbone Support

• Agenda setting• Participants

Establishing CI

• Mutually reinforcing activities

• Continuous communication

Maintaining CI

• Measuring the impact• Measuring the CI

Establishing CI Partnerships• Agenda setting• What is the goal of the partnership?

• Start small

• Recruiting participants• Environmental scans

• Going beyond the usual suspects

• Relationship building

Maintaining CI• Relationship building• The bulk of the work of coordinators is to build

trust and relationships among participants• Constant work

• Fresh Bucks- back bone work is done by staff from the Indy Hunger Network• Maintain relationships and coordinate the program

among 5 (and counting) farmer’s markets and one farm stand

• Each partner contributes something slightly different – it is the coordinator’s job to bring contributions together

Measuring the Impact- Interventions• SNAP-Ed Evaluation Questions (WRO Framework)• Individual: To what extent does SNAP-Ed programming improve

participants’ diet, physical activity, and health?

• Environmental: To what extent does SNAP-Ed programming facilitate access and create appeal for improved dietary and physical activity choices in the settings where nutrition education is provided?

• Sectors of Influence: To what extent is the SNAP-Ed grant program integrated into comprehensive strategies that collectively impact lifelong healthy eating and active living in low-income communities?

• Social/Cultural: To what extent do community-level obesity prevention strategies impact the public’s priorities, lifestyle choices, and values for healthy living?

• Two measures in Fresh Bucks assessed by backbone• Tokens requested• Tokens spent

Measuring the Impact- Community Partnerships

3 Questions- Who do you interact

with?- How do you interact?- What is the quality of

your relationship?Multiple points in time

Discussion• SNAP-Ed Evaluation Questions• Environmental: To what extent does SNAP-Ed

programming facilitate access and create appeal for improved dietary and physical activity choices in the settings where nutrition education is provided?

• Sectors of Influence: To what extent is the SNAP-Ed grant program integrated into comprehensive strategies that collectively impact lifelong healthy eating and active living in low-income communities?

• Success with the CI model on these levels?

• Roadblocks to the CI model on these levels?
