JEDI Outcomes

Step 4 (Optional): Indicators for Verification

Using the Framework to assess community progress towards a just food system relies on the assumption that the example initiatives you identified in Step 2 actually support the JEDI outcomes in your community a meaningful way.

As a next step, if you would like to verify and more concretely measure and track progress towards any JEDI outcomes that are of particular interest to your community, we encourage you to explore developing your own shared indicators/metrics and collecting data on these.

The indicators you choose will depend on what data sources are available to you and what you have the resources and capacity to measure. Please note, some JEDI outcomes are qualitative in nature and can be more difficult to develop indicators for/measure.This next step may require further investment in the evaluation/data collection capacity of your community.

Record your answers on page 8 of the worksheet.

  • Review the list of JEDI outcomes and identify the outcomes you believe are supported in your community (i.e., through various food programs, projects, practices, policies or organizations).
  • Rate the extent of this support - is the outcome minimally, moderately or substantially supported in your community?
  • Click and drag these outcomes into the box below, arranging them within their respective categories (minimal, moderate, or substantial support).

*If you run out of room to place the outcomes, you can move the category headings to make more space.

Step 1: Identifying JEDI Outcomes

*Prior to completing the community assessment, we encourage each participating organization to conduct their own organizational audit. This will better inform your answers and help you to collectively identify JEDI strengths and gaps in your community.

Record your answers on pages 1-4 of the worksheet.

Step 3: Reflection and Verification

  • Where possible, how can you measure or verify that your organization/ the example initiatives you provided actually contribute to each of the outcomes? (Please note, some outcomes are qualitative in nature and thus more difficult to measure)

  • In cases where your organization only minimally contributes to an outcome, what steps can you take (if any) to further support that outcome?

Record your answers on pages 6-7 of the worksheet.

Using the Framework relies on the assumption that your organization's activities/outputs actually contribute to your selected outcomes in a meaningful way. Step 3 involves exploring how you might verify these linkages to reduce bias.

One you have finished Step 2, review the outcomes selected and reflect, discuss and determine:

How to Evaluate an Activity

The Framework can be used to assess whether an activity/intervention is contributing to JEDI (justice, equity, decolonization, inclusion) outcomes that signify progress towards a more just food system:

  1. Write down an activity/intervention (e.g., a program, project, policy, etc.) you would like to evaluate.
  2. Write down the outputs (the immediate tangible or intangible results) of this activity/intervention.
  3. Select the outcomes from the list that your activity and its outputs contribute to and drag them into the box.
4. Once complete, review the outcomes you have selected and reflect, discuss and determine:
  • How can I measure or verify that my activity/its outputs actually contributes to each of these outcomes?
  • To what extent does my activity contribute to each of the outcomes selected? Slightly, considerably or highly?
  • Where slight, what can we do to contribute to it at a greater extent?
5. Review the outcomes left behind (that your activity does not contribute to) and reflect/discuss: - Are any of these outcomes relevant to / within the scope of my organization and this activity? - If yes, what barriers have prevented us from taking action thus far? (e.g., financial, human, resources, lack of knowledge, etc.) - How can we overcome these barriers and what can we do, change or add to contribute to these JEDI outcomes?

Step 4: Reflection and Verification

Using the Framework relies on the assumption that your activity outputs actually contribute to your selected outcomes in a meaningful way. Step 4 involves exploring how you might verify these linkages to reduce bias.One you have finished Step 3, review the outcomes selected and reflect, discuss and determine:

Record your answers on pages 6-7 of the worksheet.

  • In cases where your activity only minimally contributed to an outcome, what steps can you take (if any) to further support that outcome?

  • Where possible, how can you measure or verify that your activity / its outputs contribute to each of the outcomes? (Please note, some outcomes are qualitative in nature and may be more difficult to measure).

Step 2: Provide Examples

How is your community supporting these JEDI outcomes? Provide a few examples of initiatives (e.g., food programs, practices, policies, projects or organizations) that contribute to your selected outcomes.

Record your answers on page 5 of the worksheet.

Step 1: Determine your activity

Briefly describe a food activity/ intervention (e.g., a policy, program, project, etc.) that you would like to evaluate using the Framework.

Record your answer on page 1 of the worksheet.

  • Review the list of JEDI outcomes and identify the outcomes that your organization supports through its programs, projects, practices, or policies.
  • Rate the extent of this contribution - does it contribute to the outcome minimally, moderately or substantially?
  • Click and drag these outcomes into the box below, arranging them within their respective categories (minimal, moderate, or substantial contribution).

*If you run out of room to place the outcomes, you can move the category headings around to make more space.

Step 1: Identifying JEDI Outcomes

Record your answers on pages 1 -4 of the worksheet.

Write down the outputs (the immediate tangible or intangible results) of your activity/intervention.

Step 2: Identify Outputs

Record your answer on page 1 of the worksheet.

Step 5: Gap Analysis + Reflection

Review the outcomes that you did not select because they are not affected by your activity. Reflect and discuss:

?

...

  • Are any of these outcomes relevant to / within the scope of your organization and the activity?
  • If yes, what barriers have prevented you from taking action thus far? (e.g., financial, human, resources, knowledge gap, etc.)

  • How can you overcome these barriers and what can be done to contribute to these JEDI outcomes?

Record your answers on pages 7-8 of the worksheet.

How to Evaluate an Activity

The Framework can be used to assess whether an activity/intervention is contributing to JEDI (justice, equity, decolonization, inclusion) outcomes that signify progress towards a more just food system:

  1. Write down an activity/intervention (e.g., a program, project, policy, etc.) you would like to evaluate.
  2. Write down the outputs (the immediate tangible or intangible results) of this activity/intervention.
  3. Select the outcomes from the list that your activity and its outputs contribute to and drag them into the box.
4. Once complete, review the outcomes you have selected and reflect, discuss and determine:

  • Where slight, what can we do to contribute to it at a greater extent?
5. Review the outcomes left behind (that your activity does not contribute to) and reflect/discuss: - Are any of these outcomes relevant to / within the scope of my organization and this activity? - If yes, what barriers have prevented us from taking action thus far? (e.g., financial, human, resources, lack of knowledge, etc.) - How can we overcome these barriers and what can we do, change or add to contribute to these JEDI outcomes?

Step 3: Gap Analysis and Reflection

Review the outcomes that are not supported or are only minimally supported within your community. Reflect and discuss:

?

...

  • What barriers have prevented your community or your organizations (for outcomes that are within your scope) from taking action to support these outcomes? (e.g., limited financial or human resources, knowledge gap, etc.)

  • How might you overcome these barriers and what steps can you take to ensure these JEDI outcomes are further supported in your community?

  • For outcomes that are outside your scope, who in your community is responsible for them? Where possible, how could you connect or collaborate with them to gain a fuller picture of how JEDI is supported in your food system and how to collectively make progress toward a more just future?

Record your answers on pages 6-7 of the worksheet.

Step 2: Provide examples

How is your organization is supporting these JEDI outcomes? Provide examples of initiatives (e.g., programs, practices, policies or projects) and their outputs (immediate tangible or intangible results) that contribute to each of your selected outcomes.

Record your answers on page 5 of the worksheet.

Step 4: Gap Analysis and Reflection

Review the outcomes that you did not select because they are not supported by your organization. Reflect and discuss:

?

...

  • Are any of these outcomes relevant to / within the scope of your organization?
  • If yes, what barriers have prevented you from taking action thus far? (e.g., limited financial or human resources, lack of knowledge, etc.)

  • How might you overcome these barriers and what steps can you take to contribute to these JEDI outcomes?

Record your answers on pages 8-9 of the worksheet.

  • Review the list of JEDI outcomes and identify the outcomes that your activity and its outputs contribute to.

* if you run out of room to place the outcomes, you can move the category headings around to make more space.

Step 3: Identifying JEDI Outcomes

Record your answers on pages 2-5 of the worksheet.

  • Rate the extent of this contribution - does it contribute to the outcome minimally, moderately or substantially? Click and drag these outcomes into the box below, placing them in their respective categories.

Step 4 (Optional): Indicators for Verification

Using the Framework to assess community progress towards a just food system relies on the assumption that the example initiatives you identified in Step 2 actually support the JEDI outcomes in your community a meaningful way.

As a next step, if you would like to verify and more concretely measure and track progress towards any JEDI outcomes that are of particular interest to your community, we encourage you to explore developing your own shared indicators/metrics and collecting data on these.

The indicators you choose will depend on what data sources are available to you and what you have the resources and capacity to measure. Please note, some JEDI outcomes are qualitative in nature and can be more difficult to develop indicators for/measure.This next step may require further investment in the evaluation/data collection capacity of your community.

Step 1: Identifying JEDI Outcomes

*Prior to completing the community assessment, we encourage each participating organization to conduct their own organizational audit. This will better inform your answers and help you to collectively identify JEDI strengths and gaps in your community.

Record your answers on pages 1-4 of the worksheet.

Step 2: Provide Examples

How is your community supporting these JEDI outcomes? Provide a few examples of initiatives (e.g., food programs, practices, policies, projects or organizations) that contribute to your selected outcomes.

Record your answers on page 5 of the worksheet.

How to Evaluate an Activity

The Framework can be used to assess whether an activity/intervention is contributing to JEDI (justice, equity, decolonization, inclusion) outcomes that signify progress towards a more just food system:

  1. Write down an activity/intervention (e.g., a program, project, policy, etc.) you would like to evaluate.
  2. Write down the outputs (the immediate tangible or intangible results) of this activity/intervention.
  3. Select the outcomes from the list that your activity and its outputs contribute to and drag them into the box.
4. Once complete, review the outcomes you have selected and reflect, discuss and determine:
  • How can I measure or verify that my activity/its outputs actually contributes to each of these outcomes?
  • To what extent does my activity contribute to each of the outcomes selected? Slightly, considerably or highly?
  • Where slight, what can we do to contribute to it at a greater extent?
5. Review the outcomes left behind (that your activity does not contribute to) and reflect/discuss: - Are any of these outcomes relevant to / within the scope of my organization and this activity? - If yes, what barriers have prevented us from taking action thus far? (e.g., financial, human, resources, lack of knowledge, etc.) - How can we overcome these barriers and what can we do, change or add to contribute to these JEDI outcomes?

Step 3: Gap Analysis and Reflection

Review the outcomes that are not supported or are only minimally supported within your community. Reflect and discuss:

?

...

  • What barriers have prevented your community or your organizations (for outcomes that are within your scope) from taking action to support these outcomes? (e.g., limited financial or human resources, knowledge gap, etc.)

  • How might you overcome these barriers and what steps can you take to ensure these JEDI outcomes are further supported in your community?

  • For outcomes that are outside your scope, who in your community is responsible for them? Where possible, how could you connect or collaborate with them to gain a fuller picture of how JEDI is supported in your food system and how to collectively make progress toward a more just future?
