NESP TWQ Project 4.12 - Measuring cost-effectiveness and identifying key barriers and enablers of lasting behavioural change in the cane industry., 2018-2020 (GU)

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

This project aims to develop methodologies for assessing cost-effectiveness and identifying key drivers of variation in cost-effectiveness in challenging data situations. It will use these methods to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of various completed programs aimed at reducing nitrogen runoff from cane production in Reef catchments. Additionally, the project will identify key barriers and enablers of engagement and lasting behavioral change within recent and current programs. It will compare and contrast different evaluation methods to create an adaptive management evaluation tool for measuring engagement during ongoing programs. Ultimately, the project seeks to inform future investment decisions by identifying characteristics of cost-effective projects that successfully engage stakeholders and promote lasting behavior change. In summary, this project will:

Develop methodologies for assessing cost-effectiveness and for identifying key drivers of variation in cost-effectiveness in data-challenging situations Use developed methods to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a range of completed programs for reducing nitrogen runoff from cane production in Reef catchments Within recently-completed and current programs, identify key barriers and enablers of: a. Engagement b. Lasting behavioural change Compare and contrast evaluation methods (targeted individual approach compared and contrasted with a within project stakeholder approach) to deliver an adaptive management evaluation tool for measuring engagement whilst programs are on-going. Inform future investment decisions by helping to identify key characteristics of cost-effective projects that will successfully engage stakeholders to deliver lasting behaviour change.
