DOWNLOAD THIS TOOL

A tool to set clear expectations of what elements of an evidence-based activity can be adapted without losing fidelity to the proven model.

There are some elements and principles in every evidence-based activity that must be present for the activity to perform as intended. Change any of those elements or principles, and you may not be faithful to the proven model. Some adaptations are necessary, while others may create a new activity altogether. Help Implementing Partners succeed by communicating what is core and what is peripheral.

You should now have

  • A visual graphic of the core and peripheral elements of the activity
  • Justifications for the categorization of these elements
  • A document communicating what is core and what is peripheral for key actors
