GRAIZBORD, Boris e GONZALEZ-ALVA, Rocío. Community Development Centers supported by Habitat-Sedesol: A qualitative approach. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.39, pp.299-332. ISSN 2448-6183.
Public policy evaluation is part of governments' effort to comply with accountability, but also it is useful in decision making as it provides post fact knowledge about the outcomes of their actions. This paper presents an evaluation of Community Development Centers supported by Habitat-Sedesol. We are interested in capturing qualitative information on the perception that both beneficiaries and operators have about the opportunities offered by these centers to enhance cooperative and solidarity relations resulting in strengthening the social fabric. We conclude that despite having obtained economic benefits as well as having improved family relations, it is still necessary to make some additional efforts to create social capital in the wider community in which the centers are located.
