This chapter presents the data from the Local Programme Sites described in Chapter Three, in tabular form, and provides further discussion, especially from a comparative perspective. In these tables the seven Local Programme Sites have been grouped together on the basis of how well they implemented the YEPP model and met the 10 non-negotiable elements of YEPP. Thus, Tuzla-Simin Han, Mirafiori and Kristinestad are considered ‘well implemented’ and Parella, Antwerp North and Mannheim Neckarstadt-West as ‘partly implemented’. Dublin North East Inner City is treated individually because it was a latecomer to the YEPP. These tables provide ‘at a glance’ indications of hundreds of pages of reports and observations and analysis gathered over the course of YEPP I. They give indications on:

• • The extent to which YEPP's 10 non-negotiable principles were adhered to (Table 4.1);

• • How far the principal features of YEPP's research structure were implemented (Table 4.2);

• • The main outcomes – relating to:

  • – youth and community empowerment (Table 4.3);

  • – partnerships (Table 4.4);

  • – transnational activities (Table 4.5);

  • – sustainability issues in each site (Table 4.6);

  • – the impact on public policy (Table 4.7); and

  • – a summary of the impacts of well-and partly implemented sites (Table 4.8).

The extent to which YEPP's 10 non-negotiable principles were adhered to

As noted, Table 4.1 gives an indication of the extent to which each of the Local Programme Sites involved in YEPP adhered to YEPP's fundamental principles. Using these criteria it is interesting to note that only three sites, Tuzla-Simin Han, Mirafiori and Kristinestad, comply with all 10 principles and thus are the only fully implemented sites. They have mainly two ‘+’ signs in each cell and no ‘?s’ or ‘Xs’. Dublin North East Inner City and Parella, Antwerp North and Mannheim Neckarstadt-West have many ‘+’ signs but also many ‘?’ signs in key areas. For instance Antwerp North and Mannheim Neckarstadt-West had low involvement of youth in decision making (4), difficulties in integrating action and evaluation (5) and were poor on investing in young people's capacities (7). Parella and Antwerp North also made less progress in providing equal opportunities (8) within YEPP. Parella, Antwerp North and Mannheim Neckarstadt-West also had difficulty in integrating local and transnational work (9) and, finally, Parella had little or no impact on public policy. Despite Dublin North East Inner City's late engagement with YEPP, it scored well on nine of the criteria.
