“…The evidence supports the idea that empowerment actions are effective ways to moderate the effects of vulnerability factors within the coffee supply chain [2,3,7,8]; the evidence showed that the majority of participants were developing a medium-high business mindset, cooperation, and adaptability. These results confirm that empowerment may be achieved by first allowing the strengthening of each family business and the capacity of the business actors to identify key people to cooperate with and to develop adaptation to the environment [37][38][39][40]44,45,48,57]. Afterward, once farmers gain awareness of their own businesses, they will start to realize that they are part of a wider network of relationships, interests, and opportunities for value co-creation [14,18,23,58,59].…”

“…For the "business mindset" dimension [37][38][39]48], for instance, respondents who stated that they would spend their money on "drinking at the bar" or "having fun with friends" (which was classified under the keyword "entertainment") showed a low business mindset and a weak capacity for moderating the threats related to business continuation and poor education. In particular, the focus on short-term objectives to spend their money underlined the fact that the farmers had a low capacity to recognize the challenges to their business continuation or to invest in education for their children, thus augmenting their future chances of participating in business development or of contributing to economic value creation within the coffee community.…”

“…Stakeholder empowerment entails the perception of self-efficacy and control and the acquisition of resources, knowledge, and skills to participate in collective actions to effect change [37]. Empowering stakeholders means to activate processes that will turn the stakeholders from a condition of limited influence over events happening in the supply chain and over relationships with the supply chain's actors to a higher capacity to exert changes and to contribute to the value creation through knowledge enhancement, direct participation, and full involvement and awareness [38,39].…”

“…The framework describes four main dimensions of empowerment that can allow the participation of low-power stakeholders in value co-creation projects, improve their outcomes, and increase the overall resilience of the supply chain, including the 'business mindset' [37][38][39]48], 'cooperation' [40], 'adaptability' [44][45][46][47], and 'interaction and awareness' [23,31,51].…”

This study examines the empowerment of low-power, vulnerable stakeholders of global, complex supply chains as one effective strategy to increase value co-creation and to moderate the vulnerabilities that threaten supply chain resilience. Previous scholars have indicated the necessity of investigating the concept of value co-creation further by including various stakeholder perspectives and suggesting systems of evaluation. This research thus focuses on low-power smallholder farmers within the coffee supply chain by qualitatively evaluating the effectiveness of value co-creation projects. The study also analyzes the extent of development and the nature of empowerment initiatives designed conjointly by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and coffee roasters that are addressed to farmers. The mixed qualitative methodology includes a literature review, interviews, focus groups, and content analysis of 20 value co-creation projects conducted in various developing and emerging coffee-producing countries. The research proposes a theoretical framework employed to conduct focus groups with Brazilian coffee farmers. This framework empirically demonstrates that these farmers are in the process of becoming business partners of the coffee supply chain thanks to various empowerment initiatives, common to most of the analyzed projects, that appear to moderate specific vulnerabilities of the coffee supply chain and therefore benefit supply chain resilience.

Relais-Méthadone est un programme d’intervention qui s’inscrit dans un contexte de réduction des méfaits. Comme ce programme comporte le recours à des pratiques innovatrices à Montréal, on a jugé nécessaire d’évaluer son implantation. La collaboration entre les chercheurs, les promoteurs du projet, les responsables administratifs et les intervenants est décrite ici pour ce qui a trait à cette évaluation. On estime que l’évaluation d’implantation s’est avérée profitable pour chacune des parties. Ce succès serait attribuable aux facteurs suivants : l’intérêt pour les promoteurs d’associer la recherche au programme ; le contexte de projet pilote, qui impliquait la production de données probantes pour justifier la poursuite de ce type de programme ; le consensus entre les partenaires, y compris les bailleurs de fonds, pour procéder à une étude systématique de l’implantation du programme ; la disponibilité de financement pour l’évaluation, qui a permis aux chercheurs de s’associer dès le départ à la mise sur pied du programme ; le choix d’une démarche participative appliquée à toutes les étapes du processus, qui a favorisé l’appropriation de l’évaluation et des résultats par le milieu.Relais-Methadone is an intervention program within the context of a harm reduction approach. Since this program calls for innovative practices in Montreal, it was judged necessary to evaluate its implementation. This article describes the collaboration pertaining to this evaluation between the researchers, the promoters of the project, the administrative coordinators and the caregivers. Implementation evaluation of this program is considered profitable for each of the parties and its success is attributed to the following factors: the promoters interest in associating research to the program; the context of a pilot project that produces an index case useful in justifying the continuation of such programs; the consensus between partners, including the financial backer, to proceed to a systematic study of the program’s implementation; the availability of funds for evaluation, that permitted researchers to be associated at the very beginning of the program; the choice of a participative approach, applied to every step of the process, that helped the milieu to master both the evaluation and its results.Relais-méthadone es un programa de intervención que se inscribe en un contexto de reducción de perjuicios. Cómo implica que se tiene que recurrir a prácticas innovadoras en Montreal, el programa fue objeto de una evaluación de su implantación. En esta evaluación se describe la colaboración entre los investigadores, los promotores del proyecto, los responsables administrativos y los trabajadores sociales. Considerada en su conjunto como provechosa para las dos partes, los factores siguientes fueron identificados para explicar su éxito : el interés de los promotores de asociar la investigación al programa, el contexto de proyecto piloto, que implicaba la producción de datos probantes para justificar la continuación de éste tipo de programa, el c...

This article presents findings from a community-based participatory evaluation of a Housing First program on the Island of O’ahu. In this study, clients in a Housing First program used Photovoice to evaluate the program and to advocate for progressive housing policies. Written together by members of the Housing First Photovoice group, this collaborative article describes the outcomes from both the Housing First program and the Photovoice project and demonstrates the ways in which participatory program evaluations can interact with client-driven programs like Housing First to produce a cumulative, transformative impact. Findings suggest that community psychologists hoping to re-engage with community mental health systems through enacting transformative change should consider taking a community-based participatory approach to program evaluation because increased client voice in community mental health programs and their evaluations can have far-reaching, transformative impacts for research, practice, and policy.
