Evaluation Services for Wireless Philadelphia
Wireless Philadelphia, in partnership with the William Penn Foundation, seeks to conduct a two-year formative and summative evaluation of its pilot collaborative service model to assess the project's success in meeting service objectives and outcomes for multiple disenfranchised populations receiving the TEACH bundle of services. The evaluation will further assess WP's initial service delivery approach to Digital Inclusion and demonstrate the direct impact of home-based computers and Internet access among a host of disenfranchised populations in Philadelphia, as well as assess the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of WP's service delivery model. The uniqueness of Philadelphia's proposed model, as the first major city going completely wireless and offering citywide Digital Inclusion services, also offers a significant opportunity to advance the fields of research and policy with regard to technology and low-income populations.
WP is currently seeking proposals from teams and/or individual third-party evaluators to design and conduct the evaluation.
