The Community Tool Box explains why evaluation is important and where it fits within "comprehensive community initiatives."  Though the resource primarily focuses on health and development projects, the community-based focus makes for an easy translation of much of the discussion to other community organizing. 

Of particular interest is the discussion of the interests of various stakeholders and what they might expect from an evaluation process.  By highlighting the different expectations and interests of stakeholders, the Tool Box can help groups better understand how to conceptualize and frame their evaluations for different audiences.

Users can also find step-by-step guides for how to conduct an evaluation.  For example, specific evaluation questions are provided, as well as information on how to collect the material, who to include in the evaluation, and how to interpret the results.

Included at the end of each section is a summary and checklist to review the critical perspectives and lessons that have been presented.  In addition, each section includes a link entitled "Examples – Real world situational examples."  Though some subjects do not have active examples, a majority of the evaluation sections contain case studies that detail the real experiences of organizations that have implemented the evaluation subject under discussion.  These case studies not only serve to reinforce some of the theoretical approaches to and reasons for evaluation, but also point directly to methodology used by various groups that may be mirrored by groups using RECO.
