Outline of Final Research Achievements	The aim of this study is formulation of consultation methods of nationwide intermediary organizations to support practitioners and their welfare organizations who struggle with social welfare problems to develop and improve effective social programs by acquiring competence of evaluation capacity building (ECB). Core components of the consultation methods were examined by discussions among intermediary organizations, nationwide evaluation trials for the effective program models, and sharing of their experiences. As the result, 6 areas of the components were formulated; 2 areas that provide the foundation of collaborative evaluation, and 4 areas (supports for organizational operation, implementation of effective program models, improvement of ECB, and social actions) of day-to-day and continuous activities, in which collaborative evaluation is suggested to be effectively used to promote organizational ECB development, as well as to solve the social problems themselves.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	こんにち既存サービスでは対応ができない様々な社会課題解決のために、課題解決に取組む実践家と所属組織が、中間支援組織と連携して、ボトムアップ型で有効な社会プログラムを開発、形成・改善する評価キャパシティ(ECB)を身に付け、それにより実践現場の中で課題解決力が向上することが期待できる。実践現場におけるEBP等効果モデルの形成・発展は、世界的にも最重要課題の１つでもある。中間支援組織のコンサルテーション支援法の発展により、ボトムアップ型で実践現場がECBを向上させて、効果モデルをより効果に発展させることが期待できる。
