The Federal Voting Assistance Program’s Engagement with Its Operating Environment

In phase 2, we examined how FVAP engages with its operating environment¹ through partnerships, research, and other activities and identified opportunities for it to do so more effectively in the future.² We continued to probe the points of connectivity in the logic model, but we adopted a broader analytical lens than previously, i.e., one of a larger voting assistance system.³ In effect, FVAP shifted from center stage and became one of many service providers. On that basis, we considered the agency’s engagement within the system in two ways. First, we considered FVAP’s approach to managing and disseminating findings from research.
