The Partnerships for People and Place evaluation and spend mapping annexes provides a unique ‘bottom-up’ view of the funding flows from government departments going to the 13 pilots places to tackle the social challenges identified by each pilot place.
The spend mapping annexes highlight the complexity of central government funding flows into 13 specific pilot places. The annexes include a factual account of the programme selection, short-term outcomes, the programme Theory of Change, and numerous charts and graphs detailing the funding flows for all 13 pilot places.
In their entirety the annexes show that government department spending is place-based but not necessarily driven by place-priorities, central government to local government spending flows are complex and resource intensive (with a high number of small grants under £100,000 awarded to councils) and that place-based (and national) policy priorities can get lost in the complexity of spending flows.
