Digital Communities Wales: digital confidence, health and well-being (final update report)

OB3 Research was appointed by the Welsh Government to undertake an evaluation of the Digital Communities Wales: digital confidence, health, and well-being (DCW) programme.

The 3 stages of the evaluation

• The first stage involved the preparation of a process evaluation and theory of change report, published in 2021
• The second stage involved the preparation of an interim process and outcome evaluation report, published in 2022 and a short update report on programme performance, published in 2023
• The third stage involved the preparation of a final evaluation report, published in 2025. 

This final update report draws on the evidence set out in the programme’s quarterly progress reports for Q3 and Q4 of year 6 and provides an assessment of overall performance against agreed targets. It focuses specifically on delivery during the period from July 2024 to September 2025.
