Dr. Clare Watson led a reflective learning process throughout the duration of Neart na Machairi. This involved three rounds of interviews with both the Steering Group and the Community Partners (May 2024, September - December 2024, November 2025) and an analysis of the learnings alongside recommendations for policy and other communities interested in similiar projects (see Learning Brief below).

Reflective evaluation critically examines experiences, actions, or outcomes of a project to understand what happened and why, as well as its impact. These interviews enabled the project team to reflect on the positive aspects of the project as well as the challenges, and to make changes to the project to better suit the needs and interests of the full project team as it developed.
