Below are a series of briefs on measuring the process and outcomes of aligning. These briefs are based on a review of the literature and serve as a preliminary bridge between aligning research and practice. These briefs were developed as part of early efforts to develop a comprehensive measurement system that will help strengthen aligning across sectors and the ability to measure how these on-the-ground efforts are developing and meeting the goals and needs of communities.

We value your input as we work toward building a comprehensive measurement system. As you read these briefs, if you have thoughts, ideas, or experiences on measuring the components of aligning that you would be willing to share with the team, please email us at [email protected].
