About INCEPT

The Inner North West Collaborative Evaluation Project (INCEPT) began in 2011 as a partnership between the INW PCP Prevention Alliance (the Alliance) and the University of Melbourne and was informed by elements of a collective impact framework. Its primary focus was to develop a shared measurement framework for agencies to define and monitor common indicators and progress measures in prevention of violence against women (PVAW) work. This included co-designed evaluation indicators and sample survey questions that could be applied to various PVAW projects.

In 2017, the Alliance was awarded a Community Partnerships for Primary Prevention grant to support INCEPT’s further development by engaging and working with a broader range of priority population groups and settings. This current online resource builds on this collective evaluation and shared measurement work and aims to enhance accessibility and support consistent evaluation practice. It provides a range of tools and templates that have been tested on the ground.

INCEPT's development has also been informed by the following national, state and regional frameworks and strategies:
