This document presents the preliminary data analysis of an empowerment tool tested for validity and reliability using a diverse sample of beneficiaries. Key findings explore score distributions, and variations across member states, genders, age groups, and economic statuses. We compare results with other tools like the Rickter Scale and highlight significant differences and characteristics of the sample. Cautions regarding political, economic contexts, and sample sizes are discussed. Despite varied timelines and contexts, the findings suggest the tool's potential as a comparative evaluation resource.

Athens June 2011 EMPOWERMENT TOOL: PRELIMINARY DATA ANALYSIS
Preliminary Testing of Validity and Reliability of the Tool based on a sample of Beneficiaries • Complement to Focus Group Activity • Key Questions about the Findings: • Could the Distributions of Scores concur be Anticipated – If not, Do They Make Sense? • How can the differences be explained between: • Member states; • Genders; • Age groups; • Those of differing economic status. • How do the Findings compare with those from Other Tools (Rickter Scale?)
Tentative Conclusions • Cautions: • Different Political, Economic & Contexts; • Consistency of Application; • Subsamples of different size - UKni 50% of Sample; • The Gender Puzzle; • Different Timeline for Beneficiaries. • But: • Useful Research Data; • Possible Evaluation Tool – though Projects Adapt; • Comparable to Recognised Tool (Rickter Scale).
