ABSTRACT
In the previous chapters, we discussed the governance turn and presented our empowerment-planning model. In these chapters, public health work is regarded as a policy-making process based on governance structures in the form of partnerships between the public, private and voluntary sectors, and between levels of government. Further, the empowerment-planning model is put forward as an appropriate approach to empowerment in local and regional communities, if the planning approach is designed to stimulate the different variables in a development process. In this chapter, we will discuss to what extent the principles of empowerment evaluation can supplement our empowerment-planning model and become a guide in setting up monitoring and evaluation processes, and how the principles can stimulate the learning process in public health work.
