| Since
January 2000, the Northern Ireland Voluntary
Trust (NIVT) has administered £3.1 million of funding to the 'Core
Funding for Victims of Violence Programme' on behalf of the Victims'
Liaison Unit (VLU). The objective of the Core Funding Programme
was to provide two-year core grants to groups that are either composed
of victims/survivors and their carers or working in direct support
of victims/survivors of political violence in Northern Ireland. Under
the scheme, NIVT has funded 41 groups with core grants and 28 groups
with seed grants. In April 2001, VLU put out a tender to evaluate
the Core Funding for Victims of Violence Programme. The Clio Evaluation
Consortium - a consortium of independent consultants David Becker
(Germany), Dominic Bryan, Brandon Hamber, Cathie McKimm, Alex Tennant
and Sue Williams - was awarded this tender at the end of May 2001,
and over the next nine months conducted research, culminating in a
large evaluation report published in April 2002. This report will
be of interest to those interested in the evaluation of psychosocial
programmes and support work to victims of political conflict. |
